Title:  Whats old is new
Description:  PYRP rolls past the ex DLW station at Kingsley. Built during the construction of the famed Cut Off around 1912, the building was recently updated to serve as the northern end point of Steamtown excursions, which would start running here the following month.

View from the bridge
Title:  View from the bridge
Description:  One of the good things about the Cut Off was the grade separation. There were no crossings from Clarks Summit to Halstead. There were a number of overhead bridges, such as this one on PA 706 just south of New Milford, which provided good vantage points for photos. PYRP rolls under behind a we-ain't-mad-at-nobody consist on a gloomy Sunday.
