The Bedford (now Altoona) N Scale Weekend is a great event. The show itself has always been interesting, but it also serves as a good excuse to get out to a fun part of the world and do some railfanning. I did that exact thing this with my friends Ben, Lee and Josh.

2015 CRHS Board of Directors Meeting Weekend
My participation in 2015’s annual CRHS Board of Directors trip was cut somewhat short with some family commitments, but I was still able to get a days worth of photography in.
Quick Stop in Harrisburg, November 2014
I was in Harrisburg recently to help a friend move. He offered BBQ and railfanning in exchange. I thought it was a fair trade.
Fall 2014 Middle Division Trip Part 2: Sunday
Picking up from the previous day’s excitement, this one started with a run in with a friend, and then a chase for the ages up the west slope. It then continued with another great chase for some rare mileage, and finally a few minutes at Lewistown, for yet another Conrail classic unit.
Fall 2014 Middle Division Trip Part 1: Saturday
My friend Russ organized a railfan weekend heading out to the NS Pittsburgh Line at the end of September, and it turned out to be the best weekend of railfanning that I’ve had in a long time.
Good Timing at Cove PA
There’s an old adage of “I’d rather be lucky than good”. This held true for me on the day after the 2014 Spring CRHS Rail-B-Q when I was driving out Route 11/15 to go meet up with my friends for a day out in Central PA.
On the Way Home From the CRHS BoD Meeting
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.
Mostly NS Action On The Way To The 2014 CRHS BoD Meeting
2014’s CRHS Board of Directors meeting was held in February, but that didn’t change the weather. I’ve found that snow actually makes NS’s plain black paint scheme interesting to photograph. And photograph we did on the way out to the meeting.
My Last Blue Leader On Video
The big excitement at the 2013 CRHS BoD meeting was the appearance of a still-blue SD50 on the head of a slab train. I decided this was a perfect thing to catch on video.
January 2011 CRHS BoD Meeting Weekend
The CRHS has an annual Board of Directors meeting somewhere in the Horseshoe Curve area. This weekend, while full of serious, important business, also tends to involve a bunch of Railfanning too.
