Last week, Kris and I visited SEPTA’s Elkins Park station on the former Reading Company line, where I was scheduled to present my program on Philadelphia-area railways to the Philadelphia Chapter National Railway Historical Society later in the evening.

We considered taking the train, but ultimately opted to drive, which proved to be the right decision owing to extreme weather that occurred later in the day.

When we arrived at Elkins Park it was bright and sunny! I made several photos at the station before proceeding to the nearby Creekside Market & Tap to meet our hosts.

While having a beer and roast beef sandwich, Wayne Duffet sent a screen shot from Strasburg Rail Road’s Leaman Place webcam: the weather was closing in on us from the west.

It was amazing how quickly the weather turned. We got back to the station just before the sudden deluge . . . stay tuned!
