I made another visit to the Everett RR operation in Hollidaysburg,PA. on 7/16/2017.
2-6-0 #11 would make a mid-afternoon run to Roaring Springs,PA., which adds several miles of running, a grade of up to 1.6%, and a old PRR station at Roaring Springs.
I also chased the 1p.m. run to Brookes Mills, along with the 2:30p.m. run.
Ticket sales appeared less than 1/2 full for the 1p.m., and a near sellout for the Roaring Springs run, which is billed as an "Ice Cream Special". Scoops of fresh ice cream are served while on layover at the depot.
#11 sounded great coming up the grade into Roaring Springs. The doughty Mogul has gotten a nice coat of weathering in its 3 years of service.
