Pioneer Valley Live Steamers
Fathers Day Steam Up 2006
On 17 June 2006 the wife, the boys and I headed up to Southwick MA to visit the Pioneer Valley Steam Up. It was a cloudy, showery day but most everyone seemed to be having a good time despite the uncertain weather. I took the usual bunch of pictures and have posted them here.
Since I know nothing about steam locomotives anyone is free to contribute information about any of these pictures. Send your comments to errol.groff@snet.net
