    Good job, Buddy, getting two of my favorite subjects, Steam, especially NKP 765, and the former NY Central 20th Century Limited observation car Hickory Creek, right behind the aux tender and crew cars. Thanks for catching this trip.

    What railroad owned these tracks? Trying to think of which one I have read about- PRR? NYCS? NKP/N&W? WAB?
