Reposted from Railpace Hotnews at Railpace.com: FANTRIP OVER ENTIRE LENGTH OF RECENTLY REOPENED STOURBRIDGE R.R.: On Saturday, November 29 the Stourbridge Railroad will host a fantrip over the entire length of the recently reopened railroad, from Honesdale to Lackawaxen, Pa. The BL2 powered train will depart Honesdale, Pa. at 10:00 a.m., with an expected return at 8:00 p.m. Train will stop in Hawley for dinner. Night photo opportunties with Lumydine flash lighting on-line. Bring a tripod and cable release. Fare: $50 for train ride and night photo session. Send check to Steve Barry, 117 High St, Newton, NJ 07860 or order on line using the paypal link at WWW.daylightimages.com/bl2 (posted 11/07) I want to add that trips over the entire trackage have been quite rare; I rode one ages ago in the 1980s or so. This is also notably historic trackage, having at least some token ties to the original "Stourbridge Lion" trackage and the original Delaware & Hudson. I've heard some debate as to whether this line will be able to sustain itself, so if the line disappears in the future and this was your last chance at the mileage, you had your warning. |

given that the Morristown & Erie is taking over freight ops as of this weekend, it would seem the line has a decent shot at the future. |
