"tracks Ahead" at Kempton - Bob C - 08-22-2012 Anybody interested in the Lehigh area of PA this weekend might get to be on "Tracks Ahead", Spencer Christian's PBS program. http://www.mcall.com/entertainment/kids/mc-family-train-kempton-pbs-0823-20120822,0,6108456.story ...if you have the interest and the time...might be fun ... and a chance at FAME on PBS ? Bob C. Re: "tracks Ahead" at Kempton - ezdays - 08-23-2012 I really wish our local PBS station carried "Tracks Ahead". They had one episode on about a year ago, but that's it. They're too taken up with their constant two-week long appeals every few months to have room for something like this. Re: "tracks Ahead" at Kempton - e-paw - 08-23-2012 I just may have to go and check it out... Re: "tracks Ahead" at Kempton - tomustang - 08-24-2012 Ok I'm going tomorrow, small chance of rain too! Re: "tracks Ahead" at Kempton - e-paw - 08-25-2012     Took a trip there today with Tomustang, and rode the 2:00 train . It was a nice ride, we took the open Gon. The tracks took us along a small stream into the countryside. But we did not see any film crews for tracks ahead. Here's a few pics of our trip.         Our coach for the day...     ex US army, ex LNE center-cab on the passing track...     Our motive power does a run around..     Re: "tracks Ahead" at Kempton - Bob C - 08-25-2012 Great, guys...sorry no PBS crews, but guess/hope it wasn't a total waste. These small operations may not gather a lot of publicity, but they keep trains on the public radar, provide entertainment of a special variety and keep the handrails polished on some unique equipment. Thanks for going and for the report. Bob C. Re: "tracks Ahead" at Kempton - tomustang - 08-25-2012 Definitely worth it if you're in the area!
