HAPT at the Strasburg Railroad

HAPT PA Foreign Correspondent Charles Kadyk was out in the PA version of the HAPT mobile newsroom (a.k.a. the school bus) and was able to park it near the Strasburg RR and get some shots!

Here's the vantage point from the drivers seat of Eshelman Cruiser "Old #2" Still a worthy yellow dragon at 183000 miles but due to PA regulations it has been relegated to trip use only. Handles well and has great visibility.

Mine is in the center!

While my passengers were at the Cherry Adventure Farm I got out and caught some of the RR action.

Here's the 11:00 run on the way back.

Just before this train and then afterwards the SRR switcher 8618 darted down to the interchange at Leaman Place to pick up a high cube Railbox car.

Welcome to HAPT's Railfan Adventures

The Hebron Any Power Team is actually just a bunch of fun-loving rail enthusiasts who enjoy photographing and chasing all things railroad with friends. This bunch of guys cover a lot of ground for a group based way up "nawth" in Maine. We also have friends scattered around the country who contribute well to our hobby. In fact, our name is derived from our actual friends in the Worcester Foreign Power Team, except that Hebron hasn't seen a train since the 1950's so we'll settle for "any power".

Welcome and enjoy the eclectic collections of the contributors. Maine idealizes "life in the slow lane" so we present this blog as an effort to share our less time sensitive findings and to add to our hobby.
