Good Morning,
I decided Friday night to take my soon-to-be stepson up to the Poconos to see Steamtown's Fall Foliage trip instead of shooting the E8s in the rain again. I was hoping there would still be some snow on the ground, but mother nature added a little snow falling throughout the day. So with that said here we go. Enjoy!!!

1. After passing through Nay Aug tunnel, CN 3254 thunders upgrade under a former Lackawanna signal and past some very bright colors on the trees:

2. As the snow begins to fall in Elmhurst, PA, 3254 passes under another dormant Lackawanna signal on the Pocono Main:

3. The snow is now falling harder and starting to accumulate and CN 3254 wakes the neighbors as she continues her climb up the grade Eastbound:

4. Except for the hint of color peeking through the snow on the trees, there is nothing to show this is October and not January as 3254 nears her water stop at Tobyhanna:

5. What looks to be PT-98 waits in the hole at Pocono Summit for the excursion to pass so it can continue on back to Scranton

6. After making the water stop, 3254 is now downgrade as she approaches the Rt. 940 overpass as the hardest snow of the day falls:

7. CN 3254 arrives at Cresco, PA where the train will stop to pick up some passengers for the rest of the ride to East Stroudsburg:

8. After the stop at Cresco, the train rumbles through Henryville and across the Henry Rd. crossing:

9. Nearing East Stroudsburg, CN 3254 passes some of the fall colors the passengers came to see:
