Down By Van Cleve |
| Description: |
261 excursions have to reverse all the way to down by Van Cleve Park before leaving town thanks to new track arrangements. I always like seeing the venerable pedestrian bridge I watched trains from when I was a kid (and, on occasion, still do today) from the vestibule of a train. |
