Viewing Album:  Norfolk Southern Pittsburgh Line Adventure 3/12-3/15, 2015
 
By:Jacob Rink
Dates:3/12/2015 - 3/15/2015
Album Info:On Thursday 3/12, through Sunday 3/15, 2015, a trip was taken out to the West Slope with a few friends. We stayed at the Station Inn in Cresson, PA. We stopped at Enola and Mcveytown on the way out. Once we arrived, most of our time was spent in Cresson, but outings to Lilly, Altoona, Cassandra, & Summerhill were made. A small chase on RJ Cormans Clearfield line was also made On Sunday, we made our way back home, stopping in Mapleton, Duncannon, Cove, & Enola. Our last stop would be Harrisburg, to catch an awesome 12R. Lots of awesome catches in this album so make sure not to skip anything. Enjoy!
