Strasburg Railroad (SRC) 10 - UNKNOWN Doodlebug

With the doodlebug

Strasburg's motor car, used when Strasburg is running, but not with the steam engines. Alas, nothing is moving on this cold and raimy day.

Another view of the 1915 doodlebug now at the Strasburg RR.

Built by Sander's Machine Shop in 1915 for the Lancaster, Oxford & Southern, it now serves the Stasburg RR.

The engine moving back to couple to the coaches for the next run.

Lancaster Oxford & Southern doodlebug used for certain passenger trains throughout the year.

The East Penn Railfan Productions team started the day at Strasburg Station before we headed over to the Railroad Museum of PA. No. 10 was a pleasant sight to see idling at the station.

A very odd combo!

Strasburg's former LO&S Doodlebug stands at Leaman Place Junction, ready to head back to East Strasburg with one of the early season weekday excursions. Rebuilt from a unpowered coach in 1915, this car was originally narrow gauge and is the last piece of equipment that survives from the tiny Lancaster Oxford & Southern Railroad.

Passing the old cemetery at Carpenters, the old doodlebug is actually heading away from the camera toward Leaman Place.

Pausing briefly past Carpenter's Crossing while the engineer narrates about the history of the area.

After many years of photographing all of the Strasburg steamers passing this spot, it was pretty cool for a little change of pace.

Approaching Esbanshade crossing.

Strasburg Railroad's former Lancaster Oxford & Southern Doodlebug stands at attention at the East Strasburg terminal. The former narrow gauge car is a rare treat on The Road to Paradise, only operating the route a handful of days during the year.

Comparisons in technology with the 1890s built LO&S doodlebug and the 1980s Amtrak F40PHR, rebuilt into an NPCU.

LOS #10 sits next to a cocooned passenger car; ARR RSD1 #1034 is atop a flatcar in the distance.

Dogone if I can remember what you call this thing but it was beautifully restored by the Strasburg RR.
