Hope you have a safe & stress free trip. See 'ya on Sat.Change in plans for our trip to Philly. (What's new :huh: ). Due to some health concerns on our end, we may not be leaving until Friday morning. Thus, our chance for the points run has run amok. Will probably arrive in Philly by 5, we hope, but will likely just go next door to Ruby Tuesdays for supper and see everyone on Saturday morning early. Yes, this getting old thing is a pain, but still hoping we can get through a major storm pattern tomorrow for Ohio and get going on Friday AM. "Trick or treeters" may get blown away by the 40 mph winds we are expecting.

Don't forget your Parka, Hat and Gloves, it may be Below 70 in PHL!!

Was able to offload my tix to another member, enjoy the "huddled masses", and oh yeah, the scenery too......

Considering I'm not in Philly yet, I can't comment on that. But most of the AU'ers going will arrive Friday.

It's supposed to dead head up from Ivy City (WAS) Friday evening.

I would assume after the evening rush (a.k.a. post-sunset).
No chance on the return Sunday after we move the clocks.

I will be on the Sunday run with 5 other family members including my 2 year old daughter. I just found this forum after searching for more info on this excursion. Going on the trip was actually my mother's idea-she loves riding on trains. I've never called myself a railfan but I suppose I am at heart. I was into model railroading (PRR) as a child with my father and used to take trips with him to photograph trains in the 90's. I'm still into photography (mostly aviation) and have shot older decrepit GP9's and F7's in the NJ area. I'm hoping Sunday is somewhat relaxing and I can get some good photos. Unfortunately, I am worried about seating, the lines and not being able to take any pictures. I'm also hoping that my 2 year old enjoys the day and doesn't go stir crazy.

I checked the 30th St. yard at almost 8PM and it was not in that yard at the time. The deadhead from Ivy City could have been delayed for wire problems north of Wilmington.

I did see or Heritageunits.com that 145 and 822 were in Race Street around 130pm.

I should add now before things fall apart tomorrow.
My Dad is coming. He would like to sit towards the front of the train. I told him we can try, but it's a sold out train with 900 or so people and that he can't always get what he wants, simply as every seat will be filled.
I should also add, that my Dad has a very rare form of dementia that cause his temper to burst out of control. He also can't control what he says at times. I apologize fully in advance.
I plan on being at 30th Street around 715-730.

Are you saying that Mr. Boardman is going along? That would certainly be a surprise.......

Has anybody found a schedule of the times the train should be hitting such points as Perryville, Columbia, the bridges, Hburg, Columbia again, and Lancaster station?
Will the Sunday train be running in the same direction and planned to be at the same times?

The queue for the train looked like they were lining up for the iPhone 6....
