I live outside of Apollo,Pa. Along the Conemmaugh. If it wasn't for my love of the Bessemer, my layout would be Pennsy only.

Does it count if the village you used to live in was half in NY and half in PA. I taught in Waverly NY for 11 years. The State line runs through Waverly so there is a Waverly NY and a South Waverly PA, NY (it is still a NY post office). New York Rte. 17 actually runs through PA to get around Waverly and is the only New York State highway that is located in PA. This is true, I couldn't make this stuff up. I lived about 200 yards from the PA border. I also used to work at Camp Brule (BSA) for a couple of summers. That is in Sullivan County PA. They were very progressive back then. The county seat actually had a stop light, paved roads, and the School (only one in the county). The camp was centrally isolated... If'n ya get to Shunk, PA ya went too far, and ya gotta go back a ways, actually, you can't get there from here!

We'll get there sooner or later!

Hello dwRavenstar

Man! You moved to South Dakota to get away from Huntingdon Pa?! I live in New Jersey (the cesspool state) and Huntingdon is Paradise to me.

My mother grew up in Robertsdale (as in East Broad Top railroad) and still has family there. So, I've spent alot of time in your old neck of the woods, especially when I was younger.

My older son plans to attend Montana State University in Bozeman in a couple of years. Each night I say a little prayer that the family can follow him out there. lol

Hey, SpaceMouse, have you ever gone to the Clarion Model Railroad Club's open house? That's where I first got inspiration for my layout. Didn't someone get shot around Indiana a couple days ago?


I've not been yet, but I'm going to the one next month.

Yeah, a guy with an empty BB gun was killed by cops. That's all I know.

Well, I'm now living in South Dakota but up till three years ago I'd lived 47 years in Huntingdon, Pa. (All but a year each in Pittsburgh and Philly).
My oldest daughter is just about to graduate from Clarion University.

Trainluver1 asked everyone if anybody lived in Texas, now I'm asking if anyone lives in Pennsylvania. I live in Dubois, a northcentral town, about an hour from Horseshoe Curve. I wonder if I have any model railroading neighbors?
