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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was amazing how quickly the weather turned. We got back to the station just before the sudden deluge . . . stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
