What is the saying ? You do not know what you had until its gone ! I miss every thing about the P&LE Railroad . the sights , sounds and smell of diesel and coal . I grew up running around this yard . I also had a good Friend named John Foley who was an Engineer on the P&LE .

Hi. I am making a short documentary on the P&LEs last passenger run. Is it alright if I use some of the footage here? I will make sure to give proper credits.

[@dlcluley]

Sure, no problem
