Eastern Shore Railroad 2001
Return to Gallery Index
The first trip on the ESRR took place on a very damp and chilly weekend, March 31 - April 1, 2001. We traveled in Tom Stallings' beautifully restored Norfolk Southern A6, the 8401. Tom invited us because our MT14 had recently derailed, resulting in a broken bearing casing, and also because he needed us to tow the car. During WWII, this line was a double tracked and signaled railroad, PRR's connection to Norfolk and its naval yards.

The Eastern Shore Railway Museum - We set-on a little farther up the track in Parksley, Virginia and then line up in front of the Railway Station on a chily Saturday Morning
On the grounds of the Eastern Shore Railway Museum - Volunteers graciously opened up the station and visitor center to make their facilities as well as coffee and donuts available.
The Parksley Depot

Making the news - Tom Stallings, Carey Boney and Phil Gandy share information with a local newspaper reporter.

Heading South from Parksley
Cheriton Depot
Waiting to cross Highway 13 on our way to Cape Charles

Boy! Glad it's not summer! - Highway 13 is the main North-South Delmarva Penninsula Route...if this was summer, the traffic would be backed up for miles.
Heading for the Cape Charles Light - On arrival it turned out to be a water tower painted to look like a lighthouse...
The Tijuana Taxi headed into the wye

The ramp to Norfolk - The car ferry moves rail cars from the Delmarva to Norfolk...must have been something during WWII.
8401 Backing into the wye
Sunday April 1 - The April Fool was that the weather channel forecast rain and heavy weather!

Tom Stallings and 8401 are Ready to Head Nawth! - which is an unusual thing for Tom.
Lunch stop in Pocomoke City Maryland. - (there's this great little deli just two blocks....
End of the line - well, actually, NS is on the other side of the bridge... and we all know about that.
