I'm writing to let every one know the the " A Cristmas carol" Train is going to be rolling in at 30th & Market in Philadelphia Pa. I'm so going to it hope to get it coming into the station. ^^
My teacher gave me false info for that! >:( they said it was at a siding but it was near the the browns stadium :( i hope its not much i missed...
Sorry for got to say it was rolling in on 10-27-09
Wow,
I live just 20 miles from Union Station where this tour Began, I heard nothing about this, Disney didn't promote it much in California, likely they didn't want the riffraff that lives around the station to show up and damage/graffetti the train.
NM
Disney didn't promote it at all here my friend found the flyer for it at the station thats how we found out. Disney most likely didn't want vandels to show.
and next week on the 30th its here at grand central terminal nyc
looking forward to this
good luck j tricarico brooklyn ny
Thank you and good luck to you too when it pulls into grand centeral. ;D
I got bored and found a picture... animated and i nearly cried! i dont wanna spoil it but the animated one was a 6 truck! the real one is a 4 truck. So im not as sad for missing it in the Cleavland Ohio area.
Ah ok will it would have been nice if it was six truck but, four truck is good.
Good Evening All,
On the request of a customer at the store today, I called 30th St Station customer service desk. I was told that this coming Tuesday, there was be a display at the station that will be from - as I recall - 9am to 7pm. To be sure do an online search for 30th Street station and call the service desk to get the official info. Then, thru a friend who works for Amtrak, the train is due to go north on the NE corridor on Wednesday, Oct 28th. I am not sure what time.
not the same train but.....
word has it that the ringling bros circus train will make a run to harrisburg over horseshoe curve to-morrow during daylight.....
an the norfolk southern f7s are supposed to head west out of altoona tuesday morning, how far west i do not know but they shoudl be daylight at least as far west as pittsburgh.
hey jward, do you know if the F7s are going through the berea area?
i will try to find out. speculation is that they are going through to chicago, but no confirmation yet.
OK thanks, i missed it while it went on the old NPR line down by my house so i want to catch it if i can!
still no confirmation, but word is that the f's will go to either chicago or detroit which would put them through cleveland in the afternoon. my guess is that they'll take the old nyc to toledo, and pass through berea.
i will post more when i hear more.
OK, THANKS! Hopefully its not during when im at school, if it is around 3ish, then I'll have to bring my camcorder to school! ;D Thanks for the info! can't wait to hear the other info :)
hard yo tell from the posts in the group, but it appears the f's went by cresson at 9am, which would have put them through pittsburgh before noon. assuming they went to cleveland, i figure they hit berea between 3 and 4 pm....
OK, i'll have to deffently leave early from school, to bad i can't skip :( (i will for a steamer! lol) so i'll bring my cam corder to school and get over to triskett fast! Good thing the weather is suppost to be nice, and i get out at 2:38. Hopefully i get their on time! Thanks again!
I missed those to bad. I did get pictures of the Christmas carol train so i'm post them.
