Susquehanna, New York & Western 142 - Sunlit Sunday Steam

On May 10, 2026, I paid a quick visit to one of the first steam locomotives I had ever seen in my life, that being New York, Susquehanna & Western 142. She's a Chinese 2-8-2 "Mikado" type engine, and the largest steamer to run in the state of New Jersey. After having finished an extensive rebuild that took some 7 years to complete, the Belvidere & Delaware River Railroad runs her every weekend during the summer, and I just so happen to have ended up near the railroad on one of said weekends. I only chased one excursion, and their excursions aren't terribly long, but I was plenty satisfied with the shots I got, especially the nearly four-minute pace I got into with the beautiful foreigner. #trains #trainspotting #railfan #railfanning #delawareriver #railroad #142 #heritagerailroads #heritagerailway
