On Saturday, July 20th, 2024, I found myself in Ashland, PA for the Pioneer Day Festival at the Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine and Steam Train. During this event, I helped run the Railway Restoration Project 113 tent. However, at some points throughout the day, I got a couple shots of the "Lokie", also known as Lehigh Valley Coal Co. #123, as it operated on the steam train rides for the day.

I hope you enjoy this brief video of part of the festivities from this year's Pioneer Day Festival!
