If you are not aware the pocono museum unlimited seems to no longer be

open. I and a friend of mine went to see it yeasterday and found it

closed. I hope someone will be able to re-open place because it is

really is one of the best wonderful model railroads to visit in the

area. Thankfully I have some video of it that I took on a previous visit

to remember it by. Thank you for posting this place on your website."
