Train chasing this past week.
Author: jim6300loco

Hi All,
this past week I did some railfanning. One of the interesting pics I took was from the passenger set of Beertrains GMC. We went to the YARDS brewery in Philadelphia to pick up 2 half barrels of their beer that was donated to the Kutztown Optimest club for the clubs  "Friend fest' a fund raiser to raise funds for the local food bank. Anyway on the way back on Girard ave we passed one of the old Phila transit paint scheme trolleys. so pic 1 is of the trolley.

Thanks for all the pictures.

(How much of the beer made it back to Kutztown?  A keg of beer, a sunny day, nice locations,  lots of trains.  That sounds like the makings of a fine afternoon.)
