FALL EXCURSION TIME!

Once again, it's time for fall excursion trains!

The Dinner Belle runs year-round, but fall is the most popular time to ride. Here engine 1 runs through the southwestern Pennsylvania hills.

The forward dome car.

The dining car.

The rear dome.

The rear window of the dome, with its ever-popular panoramic view of the just-passed scenery. For fall, there is usually another dining car, but my diorama isn't long enough to include it!

Also popular is the steam excursion. Here engine 34 pulls its train through the countryside. The open-sided car is a great place to ride on this warm day!

On the return trip, the engineer smokes it up a bit, to the delight of the passengers!
