Model railroad group hosts open house

The Anthracite Model Railroad Society invites people to its annual summer open house, which will continue this Saturday and Sunday at 1056 Hanover Court, Hazleton Township, between Peace and James and 22nd and 23rd Street.

The trains will be operating from noon until 5 p.m.

Visitors will have the opportunity to see HO scale trains operate through the City of Hazleton, boroughs of Weatherly, Harley and Mauch Chunk (Jim Thorpe), past numerous large coal breakers that are now razed, the Jeddo #7 and Drifton breakers to name a few. Observe trains operate past the high stacks at Bethlehem Steel.

Admission is free; however, donations are appreciated.

People are encouraged to bring children.

Come see what is new on the railroad. Check out the group on Facebook at Anthracite Model Railroad Society or on the website at http://www.amrclub.org.
