Rolling hard
Title:  Rolling hard
Description:  NW steam excursions were not a slow ride in the country. They usually ran on busy main lines, and as such, had to keep up the pace. This NW 1218 trip on the ex NKP between Buffalo and Ashtabula was typical, as we see the engine blowing through Silver Creek at speed.

Blasting down the high iron
Title:  Blasting down the high iron
Description:  This NW 1218 trip ran the NKP from Ashtabula to Buffalo and return. The NKP was always a high speed road, and still is. NW excursions were no daisy picker specials. They had to mix in with the regular traffic. NW 1218 is showing shes capable, passing through Westfield at track speed.
