Bill,
Actually that date isn’t too bad for southeastern Pennsylvania, which is where the train ride will happen. The “peak foliage time” varies throughout the state. By then there will be areas in the state with mostly bear trees, but not in the area the train is traveling. In my area, it’s usually mid- October or a little later, but the southeastern part is later. Was the sumac that was turning, along the roads. I had noticed they were spraying around that time along the roads and it usually turns it fall color before it turns completely brown. In my case, I just need to look out my back windows or drive around my normal every day route for fall foliage.

While Sandie and I were traveling around Pennsylvania after the convention we saw a lot of foliage that was already starting to turn, sumac especially. Bill Winans ------------------------------- Who would have thought that Amtrak would schedule a “for fun” excursion train? This trip is really pretty good. http://www.amtrak.com/fall-foliage-aboard-the-autumn-express Most (or all?) is on PRR trackage as well. Check out the route! I don’t count “rare mileage” miles but this trip has them for sure. I already have my tickets for Donna and I….looking forward to it.
