PA Railroad Museum

If any of you guys get in the Lancaster PA area, look up the PA Railroad Museum.  It had lots of rolling stock from PA Railroad history.  Locomotives, cabooses, box cars, gondola cars, hopper cars, Pullman cars, and dinning cars.  Even a dispacher that taps out Morse code (railroad code).  On the other side of the road is The Strasburg Railway.  An early 1900s Baldwin steam engine and vintage rail passenger cars, take you on an hour ride to Paradise PA.  This is Amish country, and you can see lots of horse drawn buggies.  Lots of shopping outlet stores in the area.  Great for the railway buff.  Stay out of the antique stores.  Lots of $$$ for the antiques, especially railroad lanterns.  I was there last weekend, and had a good time.  They have white gas at some of the gas stations for the Amish.  Lancaster lanterns is in the area, and so is the Leacock/Coleman store.  Lancaster lanterns is an Amish shop that makes lanterns and lamps.
