Sorry for the short notice, but our interchange schedule with NS has been highly unpredictable at times. Here is the information we just published on our Facebook Page concerning a mixed freight operation Wednesday August 12th:

Special for TOMORROW, Wednesday, August 12, Strasburg Rail Road will be operating a MIXED TRAIN with departure from East Strasburg at 8:00 AM! Don't miss your chance to experience the historic tradition of the "Mixed Train" as Engine #475 hauls modern day freight.
$15.00 CASH paid to the conductor gets you on the train. Boarding is first come, first served at Coach #96, staged on our North No. 1 track in the freight yard. There is no age restriction. Find additional information at http://www.strasburgrailroad.com/on-the ... xed-train/

As with any freight operations there are always last minute changes and cancellations possible. As of right now, we will be delivering two cars to NS and picking up one to bring back.
