Our first stop, the Cassandra Overlook in
Lilly Pa.
Our trip out started at 4:00 in the morning and ran
thru heavy rain and fog. When we got to the overlook
it had slowed to a gentle drizzle.
Next we checked in at the Station
Inn in Cresson, a bed and breakfast that caters to Railfans
On our way to Horseshoe Curve,
we stopped off at Gallitzin Tunnel
