exit 107 to Pottsville

Glad to see you are back on with this, after all you are the one who established the standards for how a meet a greet should be conducted!

54 people voted, of which 26 said the weekend of 10/24 was their choice..... sounds like you will have at least 8 of the 26. I'm 95% sure Peyton and I will be on a trip to NH that weekend.

Dave, where you been?

When I told my wife about the get-together and said the words "Coal Nerd Fest" she covered her face with her hands so I wouldn't see her laughing...

But I did ask if it was warm enough in here and then offered to raise the fire in the Alaska if needed.

If the train leaves at 7:00 am we have an engineer on the forum from the New Hope and Ivyland RR Who can expertly run a steam locomotive. several fireman, but no train!

lets sneak down to the shops at Hamburg and borrow the Northern from the Blue Mountain and Reading. We'll get enough coal for everyone!!

I will PM with more info soon.
