Yesterday, Kris and I were wandering around southern Pennsylvania on an afternoon drive. We crossed the Susquehanna and followed back roads across farm field and through villages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw a highway sign that read, “Stewartstown 7 [miles]”, and so we drove there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meandering into the village, I told Kris about how there used to be a tourist railway at Stewartstown. I was wondered if the tracks were still in place . . . and then . . . Lo and Behold, there was a 44-ton diesel with its headlight lit and passengers boarding an Reading Company coach at the old station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I dare say I was flummoxed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went out along the line, and I set up in a forest. After a short while, I heard the bark of an airhorn, and the 44-ton diesel leading the short excursion came around the bend. It was like a dream from another time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
