The trail actually begins in Chester County. It retraced the former Pennsylvania Railroad Atglen and Susquehanna Branch. The distinctive PRR Catenary Poles were replaced with traditional utility style monopoles in 2011, as they still serve as part of Amtrak's 25Hz Traction System.

Looks like a great trail. Would loved to have seen some of the Amish buggies.

I’d be interested in the bicycle you both have chosen for your age. We’re 250 and a wake up from retirement and considering returning to cycling after 35 years.

My wife rides a folding mountain bike that is no longer in production. I ride a recumbent due to a surgery I had several years ago. For trails you just need a decent bike with med width tires rather than road tires. Most bikes these day have 21 speeds.

@@BentOnBiking thanks so much. My wife is 4’10” and we’re eye brands with extra/extra small sizes. And with four appendages surgeries right/left feet, right elbow, left and possibly right rotators I’ll be looking for comfortably steady mountain bikes with shocks as opposed fast the stiff racers I’ve owned of old. My son graduated Tech and seemed we frequented Blacksburg every other week a few years ago.

Great you’re getting back into riding. Slowly riding rail trails is healthy and a great way to enjoy nature!

Hi, Just curious, you said when the trail is complete it will be 23 miles, so how many miles is it now ?? Thank you.
@BentOnBiking2 жыл бұрын
I think we logged between 18 and 19 miles one way on the sections that are currently open.
