What short out and back section of track? Do you mean our mainline? If so, it was never part of the PRR, the Strasburg Rail Road was chartered by Strasburg business men in 1832 and has always been an independent shortline, never a subsidiary or branch of any other RR.
The only "short out and back section of track, originally chartered by the Pennsylvania railroad" would be the interchange and runaround track at Leaman Place, which was originally the #1 track of PRR's four track mainline between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. If that's what you were talking about, then you were right on the mark.
Nice video all the same.
Kelly,
I will re-write the description with what you have told me. Sorry, I seem to have gotten some misinformation.
