However, it had been more than twenty years since I had taken a serious look of the railroad north of the Harrisburg area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few days ago, we had a rare sunny day, so Kris and I made an adventure of following the east bank of the Susquehanna River compass north toward Sunbury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;:\n\t\t\t\t{ &quot;image&quot;:\n\t\t\t\t\t{
