Complimentary Station Inn coffee mugs. When two or more guests stay two or more days at The Inn, they receive coffee mugs. But......sometimes we forget to present them to guests.......be sure to ask for mugs if we don't volunteer them.
8/12... BTW...Interested in railfanning Horseshoe Curve by air??? Dan Lipko at Barber Aviation in Martinsburg can arrange it!. More info at www.barberaviation.com Dan's copters can carry three passengers. This helps keep your individual cost very reasonable.
8/25... While not yet officially open, The BRIDGEVIEW B&B in Marysville now has a website you can visit. The web address: www.bridgeviewbnb.com On Aug. 19 & 20 I spent two days and nights at Bridgeview. The place is outstanding. The building is climate controlled throughout. There are stunning views of the Susquehanna and the Rockville Bridge. Really, you're right there!
At Bridgeview, the mile-wide river is just below the rear deck. All trains on the bridge can be viewed from the rear deck. A regular stream of railroad traffic passes, going to Altoona and Enola. Trains to and from Enola roll by the front deck. About half of the westbound traffic from Enola bears right at the Marysville Wye and you can then see it proceed across the bridge. Harrisburg to Altoona traffic bears right after crossing the bridge on its way westward. You can quickly see why the train count here often exceeds 125 per day. I shot a batch of good photos while at Bridgeview; they'll be posted on this site in the Photo Gallery in a few days.
