I'll post pics either later today or tomorrow, but in the meantime, enjoy the videos (and apologies in advance that I didn't use a tripod. These were grab-N-go).
You'll notice I had a little bit more company at the crossing today than usual . . .

Really amazing amount of activity on the ol' Valley Line. I daresay that this line never had this much activity during my chosen modeling era of the late 1940s - or at any other time in its history. And I don't think I've ever seen any evidence of double-headed steam back in the day . . . So this is a pretty special treat.
As I mentioned, I'll post the photos later on, but for now I hope you enjoy the videos of The Valley Line Today!
PS: and note to Lionel and the NMRA - notice all the young folks photographing/videoing all this. LOTS of them around today. #thehobbyisnotdying
Wonderful shots Chris. I need to get back to the NE US, and visit this line.
