The RDC returned to County Home Junction and now we would traverse the Greensburg Industrial Line.





An interesting building along this line.

The Designed and Built by Budd plate on the RDC steps. From here we retraced our path but stopped at a location where food was nearby and had a lunch break. I went to Hoss's Family Steak & Sea Restaurant and had a Filet Mignon. After an excellent meal, I returned to the RDC.





The RDC with the US Highway 30 bridge. Everyone returned early so the train departed ten minutes ahead of schedule and were taken back down to County Home Junction, running to Youngwood for some more posed pictures.





Penn Central caboose 24049 built by the railroad in 1969.











The posed pictures at Youngwood. We all reboarded and the RDC started to take us south to Hunker for the final piece of new rail mileage of the day.
