ASV's ATSF 3415 Lives!


Back in November, our "Kansas Correspondent" gave us information to find YouTube video of 3415 running under it's own steam for the first time. Very cool to see the old display engine come alive. Railfan & Railroad Magazine finally put Jim's photo work in print. Check out page 16 of the March 2009 issue. That's his photo with the accompanying article. Jim was one of the unnamed volunteers mentioned in the article that brought the massive engine back to life.

And, since I can't resist an opportunity, I include the photo above of Jim waving the appropriate signals to the engineer to couple the S-1 up to the train on the Abilene and Smoky Valley in June 2006.

Good Job Jim!

Welcome to HAPT's Railfan Adventures


The Hebron Any Power Team is actually just a bunch of fun-loving rail enthusiasts who enjoy photographing and chasing all things railroad with friends. This bunch of guys cover a lot of ground for a group based way up "nawth" in Maine. We also have friends scattered around the country who contribute well to our hobby. In fact, our name is derived from our actual friends in the Worcester Foreign Power Team, except that Hebron hasn't seen a train since the 1950's so we'll settle for "any power".

Welcome and enjoy the eclectic collections of the contributors. Maine idealizes "life in the slow lane" so we present this blog as an effort to share our less time sensitive findings and to add to our hobby.
