Wilmington & Western: Pufferbelly Days 2011

HD 1080p: On Sunday, June 12, the Wilmington & Western Railroad held their annual Pufferbelly Days event. #98 and #58 double headed for two trips from Greenbank Station to Mt Cuba and back. The event itself was a great turnout for the railroad, and #98 and #58 certainly didn't disappoint as they chugged along the line to Mt Cuba. During this whole weekend a PBS film crew was filming the W&W for their show, Great Scenic Railway Journeys. They were also present on this day filming the double header trips. We first catch the train pulling the consist into the station, and before the train departed for the first trip, the engineers blew the whistles a series of times for the film crew. We rode the first trip, then chased the second, so you will see the clips mixed together as the video progresses on. Enjoy another steam-filled video from Eastern Railfan Productions!

Very nice video. I have a quick question, though (and it may sound stupid) but why did the train stop at Mt. Cuba Rd.? Thanks! A like and favorite.

@railfanentertainment Thanks! The train stopped there to let the PBS film crew on board. They were chasing the train for a while then got on at that spot.

@Strasburg1991 As far as 60, keep dreaming. 60 is so so far gone. 92 however, we do plan to get her running again someday. Money has to be there though.
