Williams Grove Historical Steam Association has finally re-fired the #643, a former PRR 0-6-0 (B4a). :teeth:

I was not aware of this organization. Is any of their trackage part of an original RR line?

:D

I'm not sure, have to do some research. It's only about a 3-4 hour trip for me, so it would make for a nice ride once the weather gets warmer.

A nice ride- On a train. Ha ha. :thumbs_up: Won't be long now! It's almost May! :omg: Hope you'll have a few photos to share.

Yup, the train ride will be nice, too. The ride from here to there will be pretty neat as well. US 30 (Lincoln Highway) across Pennsylvania on a motorcycle is a LOT of fun. When I go, I'm sure I'll take a ton of pics to share. :shade:

What (if any) other PRR steam is still in use? I think Strasburg has or had a D-class. Anyone know of any others??
