The train will briefly stop in Enola Yard for food service to be loaded and then cross the river on Rockville Bridge and return to Washington via the Roy Branch to Columbia and again on the Port Road. The consist will be:
2 PRR E8s

The train is planned to leave from Washington at 0800 and has sold to capacity.

The CRHS is interested in photo submission for an upcoming issue of Conrail Quarterly magazine and for future trip websites and printed material.

Have heard good reports from friends who were able to ride it.

Have heard good reports from friends who were able to ride it.

The departure was delayed by one hour because of a bad-ordered Amfleet car that had to be cut out and replaced (because every seat on the train was sold).
It was a great trip, from beginning to end.

The PRR E8's and Juniata Terminal Company varnish returned to Philly Sunday morning.

Will it be in the Northeast (NJ, PA, Maryland) area?

On the next excursion, it would be nice if the starting point is Philadelphia.

I just read on their facebook in a long post about their future plans that the 2013 excursion will start in Philadelphia and feature rare mileage! Just have to keep watching their page and site for further info.
