An International Diesel

This is another image from that trip to Potter County. I found this International Diesel stuck away in another shed away from the main structure.

Potter County Logging Museum

Between the mill and the loco sheds was much to see at the logging museum.

I should have posted some images from the mill, perhaps another time.

A log disconect sits on a side rail. What's awaiting us in those sheds?

I see something sticking its self out there.

It was a shay locomotive. I haven't seen one of these before.

I knew the Shay was used by logging companies, but I didn't know the particulars for this engine. I am glad the plaque was there.

These photos were taken sometime ago and were taken in Potter County, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This a great place to visit. We drove for miles and didn't encounter one car on the highway. Very remote.

It is another fine autumn day and a great day for pictures. The Reading & Northern Railroad will be treating us to their collection of vintage locomotives over the next month or so. Today, a diesel F unit with a string of passenger cars was sent out to ferry passengers to Jim Thorpe . Where did that guy come from? He wasn't their when I set-up this morning.
