After leaving the CRBBQ on Saturday I headed to my parents house in the Cumberland Valley of PA.  On Sunday I headed towards Hagerstown trying to get in some railroad shots.  Here's where the old PRR/PC/Conrail Pennroad Tower used to be located:

Looking South towards Chambersburg and Hagerstown


Ex PRR station in Greencastle, now a Boy/Girl Scout headquarters



And for you auto fans, this was across the street from the station being admired by the owner who just restored it

Thanks.  I do have one regret from this weekend.  I wish I had shot some photos of the ex PRR station located near the CRBBQ in Newport.  Mabe next time.  Always like to get these photos before the station disappears.

Bob, I thought I shot one, but it was after we stopped to get some beer, so naturally I left the lens cap on...

Wow Dave, that pic of the toaster really turned out well.
