No. 15 does not look like it will be finished in time to run this season. eledbetter@rypn.org |

Rods will be coming off as well for some bushing work. The GOAL is to have 15 ready by the time of the Oct. 11-12 Fall Spectacular, but it does NOT sound certain by any means. Keep your fingers crossed. JAC |

We would all love to see #15 operational by the Spectacular. But, many have their doubts. I, for one, feel that if the manpower is there and a lot of hard work is put into it, she'll be ready. For now, it looks like #15 will be ready in time for the 2004 season. The East Broad Top Railroad nevin@parails.com |
