So, some friends and family and I are going to Jim Thorpe tomorrow and doing the 2 hour hometown high bridge excursion! Anything I should look for driving up/back or while onboard?

Will share photos & videos when time permits!

Wow, that was amazing!

My train had an SD40 on one end and a SD50 on the other!

Photos and videos to come soon!

I have some videos too, i'll try and find & post them. :) By the way, these were all taken with my iPhone, so forgive some having slightly off angles etc. My proper camera ran out of batteries before we even purchased the tickets... :(

Thanks, i'm just sad my camera camera had no battery charge, and my iPhone was being difficult so i missed their coal powered steamer go by while we were on the siding.... -_-

& as for great trip.... totally, on the way back from the bridge i sat down got comfy and rested my head slightly out the window.... Was like a 2 week vacation rolled into 45 minutes. I could ride like that across the continent with pleasure!
