[4K] Wilmington & Western Steam Specials

The Wilmington & Western Railroad operates special Autumn Color Express trips down their entire line from Greenbank Station along the Red Clay Valley to Hockessin, DE. For many of these 10-mile trips, their 0-6-0 switcher 58 aka “The Veterans Locomotive” takes charge with a number of heavyweights and cabooses down the old Baltimore & Ohio Landenberg Branch. On the rear for assistance and the return trip is Baltimore & Ohio SW1 8408, a diesel switcher that once ran this very line in revenue freight service. 0:00 Opening - Yorklyn Trestle 1:19 Entering Greenbank Station 2:32 Departing Greenbank Station 4:28 Brandywine Springs 5:32 Faukland Road 6:41 Woodcock Hollow Cut 7:50 Barley Mill Road 9:20 Mount Cuba Road 10:25 Ashland Trestle 11:28 Ashland 12:44 Yorklyn 13:58 Yorkridge Trail 15:07 Old Wilmington Road 16:24 Hockessin 18:55 Closer and Credits
