For those who are new to "Yorking" or an avid attendee. The Latest Version of Clem's Fall York Primer is out now. This is a great way to learn about some of the happenings at York.

Every time a new Clem's Primer is released, I always go to the page showing the "unofficial" attendance numbers first, and this time was pleased at the increase, especially for a Spring York! The next week and a half is going to just crawl... just like time did when I was waiting for Christmas as a kid.

@Andy Hummell I was excited when I received the Email. I was like wow! way to start off the first Primer I have edited. I don't think my week will be crawling though. Can't wait to see you guys in two weeks! Have a safe trip!
I have been going to York on and off since 2001 and many times I heard about Clem's York Primer but I didn't know where to find it. I never actually saw it until today. Wow! It's 47 pages! It blew me away the amount of information in it. It's well worth a read. And I found those attendance figures very interesting. I hope they keep going up. I know they will probably never approach what York was in it's hey day but any increase in attendance is definitely a good thing for the future of York.
Thanks for posting Clem's primer. I've never been and probably will not get the chance but the primer gave me a good bit of info I didn't know.
@GVDobler You are always welcome! it is definitely a great experience! @Hudson J1e it is amazing the things that go on during York week. That is why Clem started this years ago. Like who would know that you can call the York County Landfill 2 weeks in advance and get a tour if you want... Also there are things that happen between small groups like the informal Breakfast that Peter @Putnam Division puts on, or the OGR get together at the Quaker Steak.

And it is not just the intentionally scheduled activities. There are a lot of places of interest to train fans within an easy drive from York, including two major railroad museums (PRR and B&O), some smaller museums, a bunch of train/hobby shops, excursion RR's, and more. We always have a good menu of choices of places to go and things to do after we hit the bandit meets in the mornings.
