The Pennsylvania Live Steamers 2012 Spring Meet

On Memorial Day of 2012, we traveled to Rahns, Pennsylvania to visit the oldest live steam club in the eastern US: The Pennsylvania Live Steamers. Since 1946, they were represented in 3 different scales, Gauge 1(the garden size trains) & the ridable trains, 1 inch scale & 7.25 in gauge. We filmed all kinds of trains from steam to diesel & electric engines. We even filmed on two trains for the ultimate PLS experience. We even had a special guest with us that weekend: Christopher Kovacs aka trainmaster844. This is The Pennsylvania Live Steamers at its finest. Enjoy.

[@Mr.XJ.96]

Is this place open to the Public? Id love to visit Im in Western PA not to far

[@DLTBerkshire]

IDK, it's been 6 years since I visited. They haven't had public runs since 2009 because of insurance costs. But you can visit during the meets but you have to sign a register application & wear a wristband so the PLS members know you're a registered guest. Hope that helps.
