ahhhhh! the tears coming out of my eyes. my Dad and Grandpa used to take us kids on this when we were all young. I have ridden in the cab of the old steamers more than once. my Grandpa was old PRR and retired at the age of 75 in 1965. this ride was his treat to us by keeping history alive. Rest in Peace Grandpa and Dad.
Fantastic! I'd love to get a model of the A&A equipment in N Scale for a layout someday. Not just a generic consolidation or 10-wheeler, but something authentic looking
My dad and I visited and took 8mm home movies of the Arcade & Attica steam locos pulling excursions ....chased the train....way way back in the early 1970's. It's so awesome to see this steam railroad still in operation.

My wife and I visited in 1972. I did the cab ride. Lots of memories!!

Lucky! I always wanted to ride in that steam engine! I'll be first in line for 18s next excursion after repairs
the whistle is a haunting sound heard from miles away in pike
So does your dad work on the A&ARR? Or did you just pay them to let ya do this? Also great whistle work.
Actually, a friend of mine who is a conductor at the A&A RR hooked up it for my dad and I. Also, thanks!
