My friend George and I took a whirlwind trip to Strasburg yesterday, Saturday 7/30. About a 2.5 hour drive one way for us (just a half hour past York). We took out usual route to York - felt strange not doing that drive in April or October!
I was last at Strasburg March 2007, George hadn't been in nearly a decade. We had a great time despite the dreary weather. Last I was in Strasburg, I rode the #7312 0-6-0 Canadian National locomotive. I've been told it has been out of service for several years. Hope to see it run again soon. This visit saw #90 and #475 operating together. We started at the Railroad Museum of Pa, Strasburg Railroad for a ride on the Cagney (partially rained out, got half way!), off to a quick lunch in town, back to the TCA Museum, Choo Choo Barn, Strasburg Train Shop and finally a ride on the train in the open air cars behind #90. The rain let up at this point and we had a great ride on the back platform on the way back!
Live Steam demos with a G Gauge live steamer. Lots of interested kids - good to see. Also a very interested Boy Scout troop getting hands on experience with the Museum's G Gauge switching layout.
