The special train for AAPRCO's 29th annual convention (September 21st - 23rd, 2006 at Steamtown) will traverse some CP mileage in NY and PA. We are talking Amtrak power with about 25 private cars in the consist.

Monday September 18th ... Schenectady to Whitehall while traveling from Rensellaer to St Albans.

Tuesday September 18th ... Whitehall to Schenectady while traveling from St Albans to Rensellaer

Wednesday September 20th ... Albany - Mechanicsvile - Delanson - Binghamton - Scranton while traveling from Rensselaer to Steamtown.

Sunday September 24th ... Scranton to Kase while traveliing from Steamtown to Tyrone and onward.

Several private cars are selling space for the trip:

It looks like MOUNT VERNON is the only car selling space for just the one day trip over "freight only" CP mileage from Rensellaer to Steamtown.
