Past a landmark
Title:  Past a landmark
Description:  BUOI passes the famous Erie Starrucca House in Susquehanna PA. It was restored in the mid 80s after falling into disrepair after EL quit. It was a restaurant(and a good one) at various times following the restoration. The train will be on Starrucca Viaduct, in nearby Lanesboro, in five minutes.
