US Sugar #148 - The Sugarfest Express
On Saturday, March 16th, the annual Clewiston Sugar Festival was being held in downtown Clewiston Florida. In addition to food, vendors, and live music, US Sugar #148 was also under steam and the star of the Sugarfest Express! These short 1-hour excursions would take passengers from the Clewiston shops, and out into the cane fields for a scenic ride through Hendry County. For the railfans, today was special, as 148 was equipped with a 6-chime steam whistle, formally used on sister locomotive, FEC #153. 153‘s voice hasn’t been heard in the Clewiston area in over 70 years and though it did take a bit to sound right (as you’ll hear in some of the shots) it was such a beautiful sound that could be heard echoing for miles. So sit back, relax, and enjoy US Sugar #148 on the point of the Sugarfest Express!

Cab Ride On The Layout!

      @@mattstrains416 In a similar fashion to how D&RGW 491 tends to chant "Al-a-mo-sa, Al-a-mo-sa..." as she goes up the grade, I like to imagine 148 does the same. 148 tends to go really fast at times, so I imagine her engineer's just like "No, we're not going over the Key West extension, sweetheart..." and he backs the throttle down a bit. All the while, a very pissed off 148 is screaming "CAYO HUESO CAYO HUESO CAYO HUESO!!!" as she speeds along the line. (Cayo Hueso being Spanish for Key West)

    90% of my trains are post and pre war. A few years back I purchased a used Lionel Yankee with Proto 3. I could get it to run off my Lionel CW-80, but not very well. I assume MTH built the train and put Lionel's name on it. I finally purchased a used MTH, DCS Remote Commander and a MTH brick to replace the old transformer when I am running the Yankee and boy is it fun! t takes a few minutes to swap out power supplies, but I will get used to it.
