<p>Thanks for the input!</p> <p>[quote user="tree68"]</p> <p><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:#003300;font-size:small;">Steamtown is more than just a train ride - but you'll have to check with them on shop tours and the like. A trolley museum is next door, and if you have to entertain the non-railfans, there is a mall right across the tracks.</span></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>I visited Steamtown few years ago (early 2000s, I think) and the static displays didn't do much for me. Interesting stuff to see, but I didn't have a personal connection with anything so it didn't mean much to me. I tried contacting them about 3713 and the shop tour, but they never got back to me...hopefully they will soon, or someone else here will know.</p> <p>Our trip plans will most likely include the Pennsylvania Dutch country, so Strasburg was one of the places I'd like to look into more. Is it really touristy (lots of photographers, crowded) or is it more open and laid-back? I don't really enjoy crowds, especially when trying to take photos.</p> <p>Traffic on Starucca looks pretty light, but maybe there is some on Tunkahannock...would I be right to assume that?</p> <p>Thanks again!</p>
