Everett Railroad -- Saturday May 3, 2008

This will be our eighth year of coordinating rides on this railroad. In the previous seven trips, the runs totaled about 60 miles each. We expect nearly the same in 2008. The set-on is at Claysburg, PA which is located just off I-99 between Altoona and Bedford, PA. We will travel north to Hollidaysburg, turn the cars and travel south to Roaring Spring’s Railroad station, where we will take our lunch/restroom stop. Lunch will be available at the station. Details will be sent to those who register. The station’s restroom and a portable toilet will be available. After lunch we will continue south to Martinsburg, back through the wye to turn the cars, and retrace our route back to Claysburg. This excursion will be a great way to start the weekend for those riding the Central PA Excursion’s ride on the Nittany & Bald Eagle RR on Sunday May 4. This will be a Northern Central Railcar Assoc. excursion. NARCOA rules will be in effect. There is a limit of 40 cars. Cost is $45 per car.

Western Maryland Scenic -- Sunday August 3, 2008

Join us in August 2008 as we again ride this scenic mountain railroad. From our set-on at the engine house in Ridgeley, WV, we will travel past the former Western Maryland Railroad station, through the narrows, and up the mountain to Frostburg. As we await the arrival of the steam powered passenger train, we expect to turn the speeders on the turntable, and then return. Approximate round trip mileage will be 34 miles. We hope to be off the rails by 3PM, giving everyone an early trip home. This excursion will be a great way to complete the weekend for those riding the SBVRR excursion on Saturday August 2. This will be a Northern Central Railcar Assoc. excursion. All NARCOA rules will be enforced. All cars will be inspected. There is a 40 car limit. Price for this excursion is $40 per car. For information, contact Gary Shrey.
