Hi Ric <br />We just got back from that area,and a suggestion I would make is not try to do too much. We went to Altoona (museum and the curve), EBT, Strasburg (3 days- Toy train museum, Choo choo barn, steam ride and museum) and Steamtown for 3 days. There are so many things to see at all stops, especially Steamtown. On one day we took the Tobyhanna excursion so it basically took the day so on the other two days we just spent enjoying the sites. There are many things planned during the day by the park that it keeps you busy. One demonstration they have was kind of neat was a ride on a caboose. They also did a work shop on railroad photography and at the end of it they did a double-head run-by with the two engines running that day. It was pretty impressive. <br />After the caboose ride they let you go up and talk to the engineer and go up into the cab; my kids got to blow the whistle, They are 4 and 6 so you can imagine how they loved that. <br /> <br />We spent one day at the curve as well, just took a picnic up there and sat and chatted with the railfans while our kids ran around. All in all we were very busy but left enough time to enjoy each aspect of it.
