We took a scenic one-hour trolley tour on a restored Philadelphia Suburban Red Arrow trolley at Steamtown in Scranton, PA. We also saw a huge Union Pacific Big Boy (4-8-8-4) on display and watched a Canadian Pacific steam loco (4-6-2 Pacific - built in 1923) fire up and traverse the turntable in preparation for an excursion tour.

Atlantic City has changed so much that I hardly recognized it. One can no longer see the ocean from the boardwalk because of high sand berms and sawgrass. All the little shops are gone - replaced by flashy casinos and designer boutiques. The James salt water taffy still tastes good, though. Over in Margate, Lucy the elephant looks better than ever after a recent restoration.
