Passenger Trains > Secret Valley / Colebrookdale Railroad opens "unofficiaDate: 10/24/14 18:53 Secret Valley / Colebrookdale Railroad opens "unofficia Author: Lackawanna484 The Secret Valley Line in the Pottstown PA area opened its tourist operations with a series of "soft" trips, intended to work out any operational issues before a full and widely advertised grand opening. I believe this is a former Pennsylvania Railroad branch.
Station and start point is in Boyertown http://www.pottsmerc.com/general-news/20141018/colebrookdale-railroad-unofficially-opens-with-first-public-ride Date: 10/24/14 19:54 Re: Secret Valley / Colebrookdale Railroad opens "unoff Author: Mgoldman Uhm...
"They were treated to a two-hour ride in a train used in 1869 through a valley of scenic fall foliage" Maybe not. Never the less, lol: http://www.colebrookdalerailroad.com/ /Mitch Date: 10/24/14 19:58 Re: Secret Valley / Colebrookdale Railroad opens "unoff Author: resqjon It is the former Reading Colebrookdale Branch. The GP9 that they are using is former PRR.

It has some of the prettiest scenery of any of the branches in the Northeast and that coupled with the professionalism shown to date should make it a big success.
May it see steam sooner than later !!! Good luck. Ross Rowland |
