Eastern Railroad Discussion > Everett Railroad, Duncansville Pa

Well, another day, another location. Was down in Bedford Pa for a few hours delivering a load of Bread Dough to a Walmart Dist Cntr. After emptying out, headed north for Selinsgrove Pa. Along the way, I recalled that the Everett RR was in Duncansville Pa. Got off and went to see what was around. With the day fading fast and light even faster, I did manage a few shots of their power. The entire active roster I have found out. Here are the 707 listed as a GP10, it is an ex IC/ICG/Mid South unit.The 1712, is ex Clinchfield GP7 911, now a GP16 and the 1828 another GP16, it being ex SAL 1978. All were in town at the station along side US22. I actually like the paint scheme on these units. Kinda,sorta reminds me of SAL in a way. The other unit here on the property is GE 80T Centercab 4, which follows in another shot. So I guess I did ok, just wish it was a little earlier in the day. TFL. Ben

And here is the GE 80T # 4. This is the last remaining Diesel Locomotive from the original Everett RR still around on the property, but it no longer is used. Once again, TFL. Ben

Whenever The Station Inn and the Cassandra Motel are booked up on the West Slope, I stay down at the Wye Motorlodge at Duncansville....The motel is more or less across the road from where the Everett parks its power....The last time I was out in the area back in June, I followed the Everett RR trackage South along old 220 to see where it led to....Dave W.

Thanks for posting. I am going to get up there and check that out.

If you go, go early. They typically have a fairly early AM start. They put together whatever cars NS brought them at Hollidaysburg and then head south on one of the 2 branches the have.

Is the Wye Motorlodge a decent place to stay... I've been by but never stayed there!

Its an older motel....building dates back to the late 50's or early 60's with the rooms accessed from the outside as opposed to a hotel with interior hallway room access.
I started staying there in the late 1980's after my Grandparents sold their houses in South Fork until The Station Inn and the Cassandra Motel opened..and I stay at the Wye about once a year on average nowadays..I almost booked a room at the Wye for next weekend's Cassandra All Nighter until I found out that Tom still had space available at The Station Inn for that timeframe so I booked with Tom....

The rooms are clean and furnished with the basic necessities including compact fridge and microwave and wireless internet works decent....The bathrooms are a bit small...no countertop to put shaving supplies, etc on...
