Rounding the curve at the Wildwood mine site, in Pittsburgh's North Hills, and not far from Allegheny County's North Park, the Chessie Steam Special's ex-RDG 2101 hauls another excursion from Pittsburgh in 1978.
Ivan Safyan Abrams:
Ex-RDG T1 40804 drifts by the Wildowood mine site with a clean stack and almost no grime on the locomotive. The color scheme was gaudy, in my opinion, but it didn't look bad on the locomotive. 1978
