BEYOND THE BOOK: Actually, in the book chapter titled “Road and Rail” I wrote the following: “Even the Norfolk Southern railroad company joins in, rotating unique themed diesels into their New Castle lineup, including engine 911, a tribute to all first responders.” That text accompanied a photo of engine 911. Today, Historic New Castle saw another of these rare birds heading both south and back north through town, heritage locomotive NS8102, commemorating the Pennsylvania Railroad. It’s always fun when one of the beautiful heritage locomotives makes a surprise visit!

BEYOND THE BOOK: For the first "Beyond the Book" of 2026 we see Historic New Castle still in recovery mode from this weekend's big storm. Despite the Level 1 Driving Restrictions still in place, some drivers displayed impatience being inconvenienced by the clean-up effort. With temperatures set to plummet even further later this week - patience, please!

BEYOND THE BOOK: The New Castle community turned out last night to support Bull Hill Boat Club with a festive bonfire. Club members have done a remarkable job clearing out and cleaning up the Bull Hill Boat Yard, at the end of East 2nd Street adjoining Broad D**e Wetlands. It's one of the most scenic locations in Historic New Castle - keep an eye out for future events.
