Waiting at the station
Title:  Waiting at the station
Description:  The station scenes were shot here at this station made up to show the town of Matewan. The modern vehicles kinda spoil the aura of 1920's West Virginia.

Where the magic happens

Pouring it on
Title:  Pouring it on
Description:  Looks like NKP 765 is doing most of the work as the engine and its tool cars pass Arden. Rather than take a lot of time to have the Berk back to Campbell Hall, turn, and return to Port Jervis, the train headed to Hoboken behind M&E Alcos, with the steamer returning behind this NJT unit.
