No Josh Frank didn't fall off a engine, he took a tumble with a four wheeler and come out on the bad end of it. Mike Harkleroad brought the Camelback and is in the process of raising steam in the engine.

Bob Beardsley rolls towards the station with his Pennsylvania steamer which he converted to being propane fired. Bob in the foreground as he passes by Richard Sales and Marty Pinkston as they wait for that track section to clear and Robert Beardsley is riding behind his dad.

Bob after climbing the grade from Gulch with family members aboard as he approaches High Creek and the Branch Line crossing. Donna and Bob Craig from Pennsylvania, brought the diesel engine that's Bob's been working on for a couple years that uses a real diesel engine for power.

Next to come along was Marie and Ted Nyland and with their pair of interurban's with the tender from his American steam engine connected in between the two units as they approach High Creek. Carley and her dad Greg, having passed through Gulch will soon be at High Creek.

The three engines sitting in front of the station as the engineers tend to the boilers adding coal, checking the water gauges and taking on water as needed as Josh watches. Richard waits for traffic to clear ahead before departing the station with John Koontz as his passenger.

Sometime later Ted pulled into the station with his American locomotive with John riding on his nonpowered interurban car with Richard pulling into the station behind them. Frank Smoley getting ready to leave the siding by the station with friends as he talks to his wife Lois.

Coming into the station eastbound I caught Bob with Ron Trenhaile as his passenger as they slow for traffic ahead. The side view of Bob's engine which is powered by a diesel engine running hydraulic motors which really sounds like a diesel!

The typical activity at the Shriver station as we had a lot of trains running today. Mike having just dumped the ashes over the ash pit with the Camelback will take on coal from the 5 gallon pail next as he uncouples Bob's Pennsylvania steam switcher from the Camelback.
