Boyertown, Pa, where Lewis Carroll meets tomorrow’s yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step through the looking glass and find a steam punk vision of railroading, where Frank Gowen meets the Addams Family, and gets ice cream!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the brew pub across the parking lot that has great pizza too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sitting along the the New Holland Branch on a Sunday morning waiting for the NS local, I read through my July 2024 Trains Magazine, which included a feature on the Colebrookdale Railroad by Dale Woodland. Later in the day, Kris, Seamus-the-Dog and I drove east to investigate this retro-reinvention of a former Reading Company branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To capture the spirit of this interpretation of ornate Victorian railroading, I altered my color profile when processing the digital images of the railroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neat place! We’ll be back. I want to ride in the parlor car! And I’d love a spin in the old M-55 railcar. How cool is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
