26 test runs

Been seeing more and more 26 test runs up the Carbondale. Reddit will only let me upload 1 video apparently, but this one was the latest, caught yesterday with a couple of RJD guys in the cab.

After the run, the shop guys noticed a leak from the steam chest, and found it was a few copper rings that caused it, so took today and presumably tommorrow to fix it, but nothing too major to hinder the rest of the season.

Even bigger Bellows Falls picture dump!

I wish Steamtown was still in Bellows Falls, but Scranton is best suited for it.
