The CRHS board and membership meetings wrapped up early enough for us to head home with some light left. This mean that there was some railfanning to be done on the way.

Our trip began across the street from where we stayed: in Cresson.

The Pittsburgh to Altoona manifest is always an interesting train to catch. Aside from the mix of cars, it usually has interesting power too.

We started our trek home and hung out at the west side of Huntingdon at CP Hunt.
