From "All coronavirus, all the time!" news coverage?  Yeah, don't we all!

Well here's a good distraction with lots of happy stuff!  It's the Penn Rail Video site!

I'll start you off with this one, New Hope & Ivyland #40 doing some smart running!

The rest are here, you can pick out your own.  https://www.youtube.com/user/csx6000  

Have fun!  I'm going to!
