We made another visit to Bernie's Train Shop, 400 Church Street in Jessup, last week. Such a great store, huge selection of N and O along with HO items. Most of the stock is unique one-of-a-kind models. I got some cool passenger cars I was so enamored with I forgot to take a couple interior views. Hours: Thursday 5-8, Fridays 5-8, Saturdays 12-8 Sundays 10-4.
Stafford Meadowbrook last Sunday afternoon, near the south end of Laurel Line Tunnel. The rotting mattress that's been here for the last few years finally washed downstream over the winter.
Spotted more illegal dumping the other day while out for a walk. On the hillside at the south end of Laurel Line Tunnel, off Old Log Road. Hope it gets cleaned up before the trolley excursions start, but I'm not holding my breath, nobody important lives around here. The City of Scranton seems to be run for the benefit of an elite few.
49 years ago today was my first day at Playhouse Square, quite the weekend.
DL 2461 behind the new bus station on the C'dale main on Saturday morning.
We went up East Mountain last week, haven't been up here in ages. Pennsylvania Coal Company Railroad Plane 5 operated from 1850 - 1880 and was part of a series of planes used to move coal to Hawley on the D&H canal from down in the Pittston area.
Went for a little walk down the Wyoming Division last week, from mile 13.3 to about 12.5.

Step Falls from the Harrison Avenue Bridge on Sunday afternoon. The falls was roaring from the spring freshet.
The Soldiers and Sailors Monument on Courthouse Square a few weeks ago.

Longtime Cleveland bandleader Emerson Gill.
No matter where you go, some bozo has been there to dump his trash. This is along the Erie tracks off River Street in South Scranton, near mile 13.1.
A benefit to buy wheelchairs for crippled kids goes horribly awry. Later a couple dozen went to jail for a few months, none longer than six. Today the site of the Polish Women's Hall is home to a big parking lot with an Auto Zone store.
