In this final episode of Season 1, we follow John Prophet on a trip he took in 1953 to several small towns outside of Roanoke, Virginia where he was very fortunate to record many Norfolk & Western steam engines. John caught multiple Y6 and J-class engines and much more.

This episode, we take a ride with the Niagara Frontier Chapter of the NRHS on a special excursion on the Pennsylvania Railroad's Rochester Branch on October 12, 1952. John Prophet recorded a portion of the trip from DL&W Junction at Mount Morris, NY to "Deep Cut" at Letchworth State Park.

John Prophet made a trip to Eastern New York in 1951. He was able to capture an Erie steam engine in the town of Port Jervis, NY; his one and only Erie recording. After that, John set up his wire recorder in Saratoga Springs, NY to catch several freight and passenger trains on the Delaware & Hudson.

In this episode, we'll once again return to New York Central's Tower 49-A on October 21, 1951. It was a very warm autumn evening in Buffalo, and John Prophet was spending time with his best friend, Sam Herrington, during his night shift as a New York Central Towerman.
