A week late here, but funny you mentioned that. My folks, who also live near Binghamton, picked my grandparents up to go for a day out. Not sure why then went that far, but they came across the Heritage festival in Tamaqua and they went on the 3PM train. Just came across it at random.

I'm doing the Steamtown trip to Moscow on the 24th with Amy if anyone's interested in meeting up.
