A Cabin Car's Journey - Part II

Lynchburg, VA to Pottstown, PA

After the Cabin Car left Red Hill, VA it first went south to Lynchburg, VA.  In Lynchburg it was switched to an NS northbound train.  Pictures taken in Lynchburg, Red Hill, and PA are below, but we have none from northern VA or MD.  We believe that the Cabin Car was in both Allentown and Reading, PA, on its way to the interchange with the Colebrookdale RR in Pottstown, PA.

Two links below lead to videos made by Travis Koshko on January 14.  The first shows the northbound NS train with the Cabin Car on the trestle over the James River in Lynchburg.  The second was taken in Red Hill as PRR 477768 passed by her former home for the final time.  In the silence ending the second video - share in the joy, pride, and sadness of those who restored her.
