US Sugar 148

Post by Marty_Knox »

I will be riding behind 148 on the noon train from Lake Placid FL on Sunday Feb. 26. I would like to chase the later trains. Anyone have any advice on how to follow the train?

Marty,

I would chase it in a your truck or car. Your legs might get a little tired.


Sorry, I figured someone had to be the Smart A~~.

Any way, enjoy your day

use google maps and look at the roads around the tracks. I know ur flip phone wont help but find a laptop or desktop u can borrow. Most hotels have a desktop u can get on line with and print out ticket info, Use it to print maps of the route.

Plus my smart a__ remark is to use the roads.

Look around as you ride for roads... And then find those roads later ;)

A group of live steamers rode the Lake Placid Local Sunday and had a great time! I was joined by Bill Bryan and Beth Bagley from Georgia. We were joined by six people from the New Jersey Live Steamers - Gary, Cathy, and Adam Madlinger, Tom Battle, Doug Pyatt, and Paul Preuss. We rode the baggage car and it was probably the best choice. The Sugar Express is a first-class operation! Photo by Cathy Madlinger.

There have been several threads on Facebook recently showing 148 in New Jersey and New England.
