300-plus tons in tow, Arcade & Attica No.18 thunders up the Cattaragus Creek Valley on Sunday Aug 21st. Having just left the Arcade Station only a few minutes before, the Engineer has the throttle opened wide allowing 18 a chance to stretch her rods; taking advantage of the trackwork that has been done over the few years.

With her whistle blowing and exhaust steam thundering up the stack, No18 easily hauls her 4-coach-plus-gon train up the grade as she crosses the old Prosill crossing in Arcade Center.
