The IRT Commission is to be congratulated for the excellent condition it is today.
When we last rode I ran into a couple of old work buddies from before I retired. We jawed about how much nicer to spend a morning outside on the trail then the rest of the suckers, who still choose to continue working.
If you have never been on these "Rails to Trails", take a walk or ride one day. It's a great way to relax and get a bit of exercise while you take in some great views all at the same time. We usually pack a light lunch.
I really appreciate the money and effort that were put into these things. Most of which were weeded over for decades of no use to anyone.
I came across some video on YouTube. It shows an old wrecking engine and cars on the old Ironton RR tracks where a portion of the current biking/walking trail runs through Whitehall, Pa.
It was uploaded by John Pechulis (from Sugar Notch, Pa.) on March 2, 2011.
