    Just for general knowledge; if you went west of A-town to Pa Rt 100 and went South into Macungie Pa just as you cross the tracks on your left side is Railfan Park for your viewing pleasure

    those lower tracks at 6:00 are those narrow gauge or is that an optical illusion?

    If you haven't done it yet. I invite you to come down and visit Macungie or CP Alburtis. Both places offer great views for railfanning. I film at both these places for my videos for my channel. In Alburtis you can catch the H11 working the old Catasauqua and Fogelsville line.

      @mrjsanchez1 Год назад +1

      The Portland Secondary is still used, there are several customers on the line( Ardent Mills is the biggest customer), the interchange with the Delaware and Lackawanna at Slateford is currently not used, the interchange is done at Taylor yard now.

    @trains21 Just wanted to let you know that the Merchants Square Train Exhibit is actually closing. They are tearing down the layouts and selling all the model trains, buildings, etc.

    • @robkrasinski6217
      @robkrasinski6217 4 месяца назад

      Just like Roadside America. I never got to the Merchants Square one when it was open. I did go to Roadside America a few times in the 80's, as well as Choo Choo Barn in Strasburg and Northlandz in Flemington, NJ which was sold and reopened. The original owners retired. I was also at one in Lehighton called Pocono Unlimited which is no more. The Merchants Square Mall is actually being razed. And they left the Roadside America signs up along old 22 despite that it closed permanently and the buildings and stuff from the layout were auctioned off.
