Here's a few pics from Steamtowns Railfest

The problem is Septa will not allow a trail without pulling up the rails. There are many who would like to preserve whats already there, hoping the trains come back. Population along this corridor has exploded since the line was temporarily shut down. I would not see a problem with a trail along sid...

Who is this new group out there? Last thing we need is more rail pulled up! My son brought me the handout from the parade, their website seems to be stirring a little interest.

Wouldn't they be better off picking up a couple of used passenger locomotives already equipped with HEP?

Too bad they can't add a order on to the ...

On another forum, someone posted pics of part of the train in daylight, parked on a siding in Glenside. There also appears to be a few Septa employees working on the switch. I guess that explains it!

Is it a definite that these cars are going to be scrapped? Found them listed here for sale, ad says that there is 80 of them! Looks like some may be saved.

My apologies if this has been posted earlier.
