All aboard






Choo-choos and chow is the theme of my story today in 55 Hours.


Jimmy John's on Wilmington Pike (U.S. 202) near West Chester, Pa., also known as 'the place with the electric trains," is a local treasure. Seriously, if you haven't been there before, you simply must stop in sometime. Model trains have been a part of the 67-year-old hot dog house for more than four decades. Feed the machine a quarter to watch the trains circle the tracks. Then feed yourself a hot dog with sauerkraut or be like artist Andrew Wyeth, a Jimmy John's regular, and order the cheeseburger.

Nicola's Pizza in Rehoboth Beach also has a pretty nifty train.

In other local food news, our own Eric Ruth is moonstruck at Eclipse Bistro in Wilmington and gives it a 3 1/2 star rating.
