Hot Mallets with Fr. Dale Peterka and Members showcase!

The presentation on Hot Mallets was featured at the recent 2024 Summerail event. This 20-minute video highlights articulated steam locomotives that have undergone restoration and are currently operational in the United States over the last forty years.

About the presenter:
Dale Peterka was raised amidst cameras, tools, and a range of machinery. Throughout his career, he has authored over twenty articles that have appeared in numerous journals and magazines. For the past fifty years, he has explored the Northwest utilizing cars, planes, motorcycles, and Amtrak trains. A former president of the Great Northern Railway Historical Society, the Cincinnati Railroad Club, and the Cincinnati Color Slide Club, Fr. Peterka has also worked as a classroom teacher, a pastor, and a hospital chaplain.

His journey commenced with 8 mm films of the Freedom Train recorded in 1975, which subsequently led to photographs of locomotives such as 4501, 2101, 610, and 765. Aside from the films, his collection features an impressive total of 15,000 train photographs.
