Lets see...for steam you're pretty limited... Wilmington & Western (DE) Black River & Western (NJ) Belvidere & Delaware River Railroad (NJ) New Hope & Ivyland (PA) Strasburg (PA) Lehigh Gorge Scenic (PA) ...further South than MD Cass Scenic (WV) Durbin Rocket (WV) but there are many a great operations out there that are Diesel but deserve our time too. Walkersville Southern Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Middletown & Hummlestown Pine Creek (Allaire State Park - NJ) West Virginia Central Lorain and West Virginia Oil Creek & Titusville Cuyahoga Valley Hocking Valley .... many many more. |
