Peacherine will appear Friday September 11th underscoring the silent film SHERLOCK JR starring Buster Keaton with the original 1924 score, perform on the platform of the East Broad Top Railroad's Orbisonia Station Saturday September 12 from 9:30am to 10:15am, and then be the star entertainment for the Ragtime at the Railroad Dinner Train at 5:30PM!
