Railfanning can build up a hearty appetite

burgerEveryone knows that a day of railfanning can build up a hearty appetite. I remember riding with Rex Easterly, Ron Stubblefield, and Keith Kittinger down to Chattanooga several years ago for a chapter trip to TVRM. Somehow along the way we picked up a dozen Dunkin donuts, a large Pizza Hut Super Supreme Pan Pizza, and a family box of Hardee’s fried chicken.  It’s good to know that the legacy of railfanning and good food continues to this day. With both RJ Corman and Buffalo & Pittsburgh crews pulling heavy freights in the Clearfield, PA area, Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub is a great place to hang out after a day of railfanning in the Allegheny Mountain region of northwest Pennsylvania. The 100-pounder costs only $380, but is free of charge if you can finish by yourself in 6 hours. As of yet, many of tried, and all have failed. However, their Wall of Fame includes one lady that woofed down the 3-pound version in only 20 minutes!!!  – Chris Dees
