Traffic Jam [99jun20,traffic] 600x405 (60k) - 1200x809 (168k)
An annual event near Shirleysburg brought thousands of visitors to the valley, and all day Sunday 522 was packed from Shirleysburg to the turnpike, with the traffic light at Orbisonia being a real bottleneck. Chasing was a challenge, requiring some exploration of the back roads, but maybe some members of this captive audience will stop and ride the EBT next year.

The narrow gauge EBT is drawfed by the mountains as a train heads south from Colgate Grove into the S-Curve.
