November 16, 1895*

Fosterville (AP) - James Trevorsky, section manager for the PB&JRR, announced that today's tour of the PB&J Railroad was attended by about 35 railfans and well wishers. This was held as part of the National Model Railroad Association's Pacific Coast Region Daylight Division Meeting being held in San Luis Obispo, CA. Visitors were welcomed on a drop-in basis between 2:00pm and 7:00pm on Saturday, November 16, 1895*.

Pictured at left are three visitors keeping their eyes on No. 30 as it chugs by on its way from Shamokin to Fosterville. The last two cars of No. 1201's empties can be seen as that train waits on the siding as it approaches the Shamokin bend.

At right, two of the young attendees took over, each intently watching and engineering their own trains as they go around the Shamokin bend. Notice the R/C control units in each of their hands.

Pictured below is the new "bubble car" as it passes the Cora Savidge Elementary School on its way to Fosterville. This was a big hit with railfans of all ages.

Mr. Trevorsky suggested contacting the PB&JRR office for information regarding future tours.
