Never did understand why Quakertown never gets a steam locomotive?? They DO have the means, since the staion has been restored for about two years now, and they're friends with the people who own them at Kemton, Strasburg, etc. Sad that Quakertown doesn't have much of a historical preservation mindset, we know the folks who own Sine's VERY well. Bill says its been like that for YEARS,...too sad. I can't bring myself to buy the Quakertown history book they have out now, I just cant bare to see the photos of what used to be and to know what is there and not there now.

Diesels are nice, but you can't beat the old steam power! My husband's father used to take him down to the tracks back home,...his father used to know some of the old timers there. he's been around trains for years when he was a kid,...got sick of them actually,...LOL!!! well, he still loves them though!!

True, but these engines are for work at the moment, I guess, not pleasure hops. They still shunt freight cars almost everyday. Maybe if they ever get passenger service restored up our way that will change. We took my son for a ride on the New Hope RR the other day and it was wonderful- as far as he's concerned Santa comes on a train, not a sleigh! lol

Funny you mention it, we went to Sines right afterward and did some Christmas shopping. It was packed- its good to see some folks appreciate what they have here at least. Things are definitely improving, although it would be wonderful to still have the Karlton.

I guess I should mention that Sine's is an old-fashioned 5&10. Shopping there is like shopping at Woolworth's back in the day, except that it's still family owned. Being there with my 3 year old son reminded me of A Christmas Story. This isn't really an obviously "holiday" themed shot, but it's definitely the way I prefer to Christmas shop- much better than a mall!!!
There's a lunch counter behind the yellow partition on the left.

[Snookie]

Wow, thanks so much, Vintage Betty, mingoslim, and carter. I was proud to just get a picture taken and posted -- now I'm triple-ly proud to have the winning picture! (And you all did have a tough (but fun) job - I would have been torn in deciding too - the pictures were all so good!)

Thanks again to Vintage Betty for putting on such fun contests for us, and congrats to Goldwyn Girl and Paddy, too!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
