STEPPING BACK IN TIME TO DIFFERENT ERA
COLEBROOKDALE RAILROAD
BY
JOE & LINDA ZIMLIKI
This October we are stepping back in time to 19th century. The Glided age and Progressive era with rise of industrialization. We will be riding the Colebrookdale Railroad. A railroad that was built to connect Pottsville and
Boyletown due to iron industry. It is a 35 mile trip. Railroad corridor cuts through the heart of the Schuylkill Valley's earliest iron industries and the sites of the first iron works in Pennsylvania, the first blast furnace and the first refinery forge. Area metal industry involved in significant projects including Panama Canal and, later, the Golden Gate Bridge.
You will take 90 minute journey into Secret Valley, which looks much the same today as it did in 19th century, aboard Glided Age luxury First-Class Parlor Car "Storm King". Your will enjoy a tapas plate of hors-d'oeuvres with a complimentary glass of wine, beer or soda plus champagne followed with cheesecake or carrot cake. There is a player piano in the car. There will be narration about Secret Valley and things of historic significance. Open air car will be part of the train if you would care to go to it. You may get a glance of the other Glided Age cars. This car is an adult only car and we would have it to ourselves.
I am advertising this trip now because I have the Parlor Car on hold for the moment. I need to know now by April 18 so I can get it under contract. I am taking 20 people on this trip. If you would like to go on this trip please contact ASAP. If you have any question please contact me.
