    I retired in 2020 after 41 years of service with Southern Ry/NS, and big Mike is so spot on with his comments on these videos! And even though I have no idea about who they were, I love to hear his comments about people from “Ardmore”! The guys a national treasure!

    I worked at Gary’s restaurant in Lehighton. Nick was good friends with Kitty our head cook. They would often talk about the festival. My father had the opportunity to ride with Nick on a day his pushers had to make 2 trips from Lehighton to mountain top. Thanks for the memories Big Mike

    I used to read The rail Press and railroad railfan I liked your commentary as well as your photography . My eyes seen better days I cannot read without glasses anymore but one of my favorite stories was the Blisters Lehigh Valley's RS11 or 27 I think they were. You done some great history telling of North East railroading. I enjoyed them all Conrail, Lehigh Valley Reading and Northern etc..... Between you and the late Jim Boyd Mr. railroad himself just loved all of it. Now I prefer youtube vids now...... Railroading today you might as well have just one big railroad and call it the Railroad its a matter of time before that does happen. I know nostalgia doesn't pay the bills but be cool to see All the Class 1s be busted back into regionals... But thats never every going to happen..
