I was out railfanning with good friend, Doug Kley, and lo and behold who drives up to the railfan mecca of Macungie, PA but fellow HAPT member, Carl "Mr. DTI" Harrison! I couldn't believe it but there he was in his sporty red truck. I had to check the license plates to be sure it was him.
We had a nice chat as trains yesterday had come to a lull and we sat under the most excellent shade of the Macungie railfan shelter.
Well after a while we felt the need for sustenance so a trip to the local hot dog mecca of railfans in this area (at least Doug and I). Yocco's. This Allentown PA area institution was started by none other than Lee Iacocca's brother and has expanded to 5 mouth watering locations.
We introduced Carl to a pair of these culinary creations with their special chili, onion, etc. sauce (with and as opposed to without) plus a small fries and sprite (sorry guys, no Moxie - I think they would give us a strange look on that one - but then most folks do, but I digress....) We returned to Macungie to consume this treasure and then set out to catch Train 34M, which we just missed a mile away later.
Carl was heading for Maine that day and thus we bid him a fond farewell.
