Let\u2019s head back down to the Station Inn on the Norfolk Southern mainline at Cresson, Pennsylvania for some words of wisdom from \u201cUncle\u201d Dave and \u201cthe Wiz.\u201d In part two of the \u201cChronicles\u201d Rich Wisneski gives us some detailed background about the grades heading east and west as the tracks cross the summit near Gallitzin, Pennsylvania. We find out more about a seventeen-year-old Dave that\u2019s made the same trek every year for the last three decades and how he managed to keep going.
Much has changed at the Station Inn over the last couple of years as Alex Lang along with his lovely wife have purchased this historic property, Alex describes some of the challenges they\u2019ve faced running the Inn while making some major improvements. Several trains pass while conducting interviews on the porch which just adds to the excitement of sitting just a few feet away from a busy mainline. It\u2019s a great podcast and one we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll enjoy!!
