Western New York and Pennsylanvia Railroad - 17-18 October 2015
Fall Color becomes Winter Wonderland in Northeast Pennsylvannia
Dan ran Railcar 007 on the Westen New York and Pennsylvania Railroad on this run by himself. Seton was at Meadville, Pennsylvannia on Friday, October 16. On Saturday we traveled 60 miles to Corry, PA and back. On Sunday we sent from Meadville to Oil City and then returned to Meadville for setoff on Sunday afternoon. The "Fall Colors" trip experienced an early season snow storm that made things interesting and more like a winter wonderland! Brian Davis, assisted by is wife, Jane, did a great job as the EC of this run.
