@AbraKaDabraAdventures hopefully you find a few! I'm not sure where you are coming from but the Punkin Chunkin festival at Bald Eagle State Park in October is always a great time. I was there two years ago, and it's on the calendar for this year. The Elk around Benezette,PA in Mid-september through mid-october during the rut is always impressive!

Add the Western Maryland Scenic RR to your list. After 1309 returns to service. Their fall foliage trains are fantastic, and the Polar Express trains are a real treat for the family. Right now everything is behind diesel, but hopefully 1309 will be back in service soon. It's always better behind steam! We're in that gray area, either Central PA or Western PA, depending on where whoever you ask lives lol

I lived in Bradford in the 1950s to 1960s and my younger brother and I would go up in the surrounding hills and ride on the metal rod lines that went back and forth that came from the pump house to the individual pump jacks. Lots of fun when you're a kid.

@@raptorPA Raptor. Here's a story my mother told me about that happened when she was a child living in Bradford in the in the late1920s. She and her girl friend were playing in a pump house that was in operation. My mother's friend got too close to that large engine and her dress got caught in the large spinning flywheel. It picked her up off the ground and did a complete revolution before tossing her out when her dress broke free. Had her dress not torn she would have been killed. Lastly, I remember sitting in class at the Hobson Place School and listening to the symphony of those pump house engines. They always made a big noise on the combustion stroke.

Why is the Cumberland train not a steam train?
@raptorPA 28 күн бұрын
1309, the steam loco that had been in service developed cylinder/piston issues in Dec 2023 on a Polar Express train and has been in the shop. Parts for an 80 year old locomotive are not an off the shelf item lol so it has been a slow process getting her back into shape. Their other steam engine is in the process of a major rebuild. Hopefully 1309 will be back on the rail's in time for this year's fall foliage trains and polar express trains. You can follow their Facebook page to find out when the thunder comes back to the mountain!

Back around winter 1977 I was out riding a snow mobile around Black Mo. There was about 2 ft of snow that was weeks old and no tracks into the Observatory. As I rode around the Observatory, a door opened, and a guy looked out and surprised me. I thought "That guy had to have been living in there for weeks, with all that snow.". I didn't stop to chat, just kept rolling.

Off the top of my head I can't think of anywhere along Blacksnake that has the sheer dropoffs like the other 2, but I could be wrong as I realy use Blacksnake. Maybe once or twice in 10 years lol.
