The Hunt for Gold October in Pa. (Part 3)

My next stop on my Pennsylvania fall foliage tour was the East Broad Top/Rockhill Trolley Museum in Orbisonia.

The trolley museum was also running pumpkin patch specials while EBT was running regular trips behind diesel M7.  

Three streetcars were in use.  Cars 355 and 311 both from Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and Car 163 from York, Pennsylvania, were running. 

I focused more on the trolleys as the sun angles were too harsh to chase the EBT train.

I did get a good photo when they were turning M7 on the wye shared with the trolley museum.  There was one tree perfectly situated for getting trains in the photo, so I focused on that mainly.

The Hunt for Gold October in Pennsylvania

This week fall colors are peaking in Pennsylvania, so I took a trip to the Altoona area.

First stop was Cresson to catch Amtrak No. 42, the Pennsylvanian.  I got this train but clouds did not cooperate.

Norfolk Southern then sent a couple trains. one uphill and one downhill, and the sun did come out for these.  Also, a familiar face showed up. Roger Durfee was also up for the weekend.

Here are some of those pictures. Enjoy
