Since
I was passing into my next decade of life, my wife and I took a birthday trip
out to Sight and Sound Theater in Lancaster to see the Sampson production. And since
it was my birthday, I got a major say on the trip itinerary:
. Railroad Museum
of Pennsylvania (PRR T-shirt),
. Strasburg Railroad,
. 3 railroad gift stores,
. and
a hobby shop (X-Acto blades)!
We
will start with the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum, one of my favorite places.

N5C
Cabin 477947:
Found
out the Reading had 2 round end observation cars and that they ran their
premier passenger train with one on each end so the train did not need to be turned at the
terminal:
They
also had 2 great model railroads and I got to have a friendly chat with Bill,
one of the model railroad volunteers:
Moving
to the Strasburg Railroad: They were running a 2-10-0 decapod they got from the Great
Western RR in Colorado:
