Wilmington & Western Railroad: Hockessin Merchant Express-April 7, 2019
On a bright and beautiful Sunday, we chased the Hockessin Merchant Express on the Wilmington & Western Railroad. The train was led by the Wilmington & Western's own no. 58, a Baldwin 0-6-0 built in 1907.
58 was originally built for the Atlanta, Birmingham, & Atlantic Railroad and was later renumbered to 27. 58 also operated for the U.S. Army Railroad as 6961, Virginia Blue Ridge Railway as 4, and the Valley Forge Scenic Railroad as 300.
58 was eventually donated to the Wilmington & Western Railroad in 1997 by Brian R. Woodcock, and was returned to service fall of 1998 and dedicated as the Veterans Locomotive in 1999.
58 is equipped with a Lehigh Valley Railroad 3 Chime whistle in honor of Thomas C. Marshall, Jr., the founder of the Wilmington & Western Railroad as well as the Marshall Steam Museum in Yorklyn, Delaware who passed away in February 2019.

Yorklyn Day at the Auburn Valley Railroad-July 1, 2018
The Auburn Valley Railroad is a live steam railroad located in Yorklyn, Delaware. It's part of the Marshall Steam Museum at the Auburn Heights Preserve and operates monthly on the first Sunday of each month from June-November. Today, the railroad is operated by two steam locomotives, 401 and 402 (featured in the video) as well as a pair of EMD F unit diesel locomotives numbered 1924, Tom and 1931, Ruth. For more information about the railroad and the museum, please visit: auburnheights.org

Yorklyn Day 2019: 1918 Stanley Model 735 & the Auburn Valley Railroad-June 2, 2019
On Sunday June 2, Yorklyn Day was held in Yorklyn, Delaware, just a few minutes south of the Pennsylvania-Delaware Border south of Kennett Square, PA.
I rode with Matt Appleby (trainboy105), Louie Montanaro, and Sam Gregg (Shenanigans With Sam; Driving) in Robert (Bob) Wilhelm's beautiful 1918 Stanley Model 735 Steam Car to the Yorklyn Day event and to Auburn Heights.
After arriving at Auburn Heights, Louie and I assisted in operating the Auburn Valley Railroad, a live steam railroad that runs around the Auburn Heights Estate. Two trains ran that day: the first train, led by AVRR 4-8-4 no. 402, a steam locomotive built by T. Clarence Marshall in 1961, and the second train, led by a pair of AVRR EMD F7A units numbered 1924 Tom and 1931 Ruth. 401, another 4-8-4 built by T. Clarence Marshall in 1960, was in the shops that day after its rebuild was recently completed.
When we finished our work at Auburn Heights for the day, we took another ride in the Stanley to H.B. DuPont Middle School in Hockessin, Delaware, where Louie and I were fortunate enough to learn how to drive the Stanley with the help of Sam and Bob.
Finally, to end our day, we assisted in helping get the Stanley ready to be put away for the day.

Wilmington & Western Railroad no. 58-April 7, 2019
On behalf of East Penn Railfan Productions I chased Wilmington & Western Railroad no. 58 hauling the Hockessin Merchant Flyer.
58 was equipped with a Lehigh Valley 3-Chime whistle in honor of Founder Thomas Clarence Marshall, Jr. who helped make the entire Wilmington & Western Railroad possible. He passed away in February 2019.

Stanley Steamer Run to Auburn Heights and Woodside Farm Creamery-June 20, 2019
On June 20, 2019, I ventured out once again with Sam Gregg and Robert Wilhelm (Bob) in a 1918 Stanley Model 735 Steam Car to Auburn Heights, in Yorklyn, Delaware, and then a quick pit stop at Woodside Farm Creamery in Hockessin, Delaware.
Our original plan was to attend the Auburn Heights Ice Cream Run, however, due to inclement weather earlier that day, the Ice Cream Run was cancelled. Instead, we fired up the car and went for a quick run through beautiful southeastern Chester County in Pennsylvania and Northern Delaware.
Sam and Bob have also started teaching me how to properly fire up, operate and maintain the Stanley. Throughout this video, you can hear Sam giving me pointers on the Stanley's functions during our drive.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Delaware ( (listen)) is one of the 50 states of the United States, in the Mid-Atlantic or Northeastern region. It is bordered to the south and west by Maryland, to the north by Pennsylvania, and to the east by New Jersey and the Atlantic Ocean. The state takes its name from Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, an English nobleman and Virginia's first colonial governor.Delaware occupies the northeastern portion of the Delmarva Peninsula. It is the second smallest and sixth least populous state, but the sixth most densely populated. Delaware's largest city is Wilmington. The state is divided into three counties, the lowest number of any state. From north to south, they are New Castle County, Kent County, and Sussex County. While the southern two counties have historically been predominantly agricultural, New Castle County is more industrialized.
Before its coastline was explored by Europeans in the 16th century, Delaware was inhabited by several groups of Native Americans, including the Lenape in the north and Nanticoke in the south. It was initially colonized by Dutch traders at Zwaanendael, near the present town of Lewes, in 1631. Delaware was one of the 13 colonies participating in the American Revolution. On December 7, 1787, Delaware became the first state to ratify the Constitution of the United States, and has since been known as The First State.
