LOL all you guys with your narrow minds 
" /> get it narrow minded 
" /> - (if I make another bad joke like that I will ban myself from this board - I promise)
The B&W is a small two foot gauge railroad in St Marys Pa. It is located about 2.5 hours north of God's country - also known as the East Broad Top - a little jab to you western boys" />
The railroad has an 0-4-0 tank I believe it is a Henschell. They also have a shay that was built by a private owner and eventually made it to the B&W. I am doing all of that from memory so I may be a little or a lot off. The railroad has a lot of character. It is small in size but the way the railroad is laid out it really works the crew. There is an upgrade of about 11% and I heard that the down hill grade is even steeper (the railroad is a winding loop)
The link below is to post from this board about their anniversary.
