Conrail SA-31: East Brunswick to Jamesburg
The day after seeing JB-2, I chased Conrail's SA-31 from East Brunswick to Jamesburg. The power on today's run was CSX GP40-2 6160 pulling three center beams loaded with lumber bound for the Delaware and Raritan River Railroad interchange in Jamesburg. The final destination for these cars would be Builders General in Freehold, New Jersey.

The Railroads of Lansdale Pennsylvania

One of the many short line railroads in Eastern Pennsylvania that has been on my bucket list for quite a long time has been the Pennsylvania Northeastern railroad. Half of the railroad's fleet is comprised of ex CN and CP SD40-2's. All three of the former Canadian 6 Axels were running out of the railroads Lansdale yard on the former Reading Railroad's Bethlehem Branch. We caught the tail end of...

Fun Filled Afternoon in Reading

It was just two days after Christmas and railroads of Reading, Pennsylvania continued to bring business in and out of the city. Norfolk Southern was the star of the show on this beautiful sunny day, but the Reading and Northern and East Penn Railway also made some contributions as well. We visited various locations in the Reading area including places such as Wyosmissing JCT and Sinking Spring ...
New Years Eve in Alburtis
The final day of 2024 brought me to yet another new location for me. Alburtis, Pennsylvania is located on the eastern portion of Norfolk Southern's Reading Line just west of Allentown. We caught two eastbound trains during the short stay. Those included H11 heading back to Allentown and 28X continuing east for New Jersey with 4004 leading the way.
C&D JB-1 on the Freehold Industrial
The first train in 2025 was definitely a good one. I once again made the return to the Delaware and Raritan River Railroad and their JB-1 turn as they were making the return trip from the busy Freehold business district to Jamesburg to interchange with Conrail Shared Assets. The train was led by GP9 752 with 5 cars bracketed in the middle with GP9U 1888 on the rear.

NS and Lehigh Railway in Sayre PA and Waverly NY

The very next day on Sunday November 24th, I was looking for some sort of adventure. I had future plans of a trip to the NS Southern Tier Line at some point in the near future. I ended up making a surprise day trip to explore the railroad operations in Sayre, Pennsylvania, and Waverly, New York. Despite the small amount of action I got during the afternoon it was still worth it to explore the a...

Great video! What customers does NS service on the Watsontown secondary besides the power plant?
Risser Grain just off the Beaver Run Road and some fertilizer facility on east end of the branch which I dont think they been rail served for quite some time.
Great catches and awesome video
Great video! Why was 264 rerouted?
@@mikemacheese7174 264 was rerouted due to heavy snow in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Cool. Nice long local.
Great video!
Good to hear Sunbury still has mechanical crossing bells!
Yes notice that the bell is mounted on the cabinet. Rare.
Do you know what time H66 hit Jim Thorpe and Weatherly?
Awesome, it would be if the R&N can do future excursions from the Reading Outer Station to the Vosburg tunnel and back!
Great video, loved NS #4000
Well done!
Great catches awesome chase capture and nice video
Nice
Oh cool I was the conductor on the train
@11:00 you are standing on, or only a few feet from the roadbed of the WAG railroad, ex-B&O, ex-B&S @13:00 the line is owned by NS. It is leased by the WNY&P.
1. This is nowhere near either of those railroads. 2. Its not leased. The WNYP owns it north of Driftwood, however its just rare now that they run down to Driftwood. The only interchange NS has in Driftwood is with the B&P.
@@gardenstaterailfan 1 I guess I stand corrected. However, since the the line ran from Galeton south through Wharton to Sinnamahoning where it connected to PRR how close does it have to be to not be close? The B&O owned it who sold to WAG. Due to flooding it was abandoned. To this day a satellite picture shows the roadbed. 2. I guess the WNY&P guys I know don't know anything. 3. I live here and have my whole life, so I would be the least likely to know any of our local history.
@@gardenstaterailfanSo when WAG took over the piece from Burrows to Sinnamahoning had already been abandoned by the B&O, apparently. The original Wellsville, Addison & Galeton Railroad (WA&G) consisted of two main lines originating from Galeton, Pennsylvania. One ran northwest to Wellsville, New York, where it connected to the Erie Railroad; the other ran northeast to Addison, New York and also connected to the Erie. Two short segments completed the trackage, one running east to Ansonia, Pennsylvania and a connection with the New York Central Railroad, and another southwest to Burrows, representing the stub end of the former connection to the B&O.
i chased the sayer dam/curtin village train. i hope to have the photos and videos up soon
Dude awesome catch.
Great video! I'll go on a small rant here and say it's very nice to see old power running around on class 1 railroads in 2024. They have surely earned their keep and keep on ticking day after day, definitely a true testament to railroad engineering. It's also very nice to hear different horns on diesels other than the monotonous GE's that dominate the rails today. Horns are definitely the song of railroaders past that ran these engines when they were new, when railroading was different, and when times were different. Railfan on my friend!
Great catches and awesome video
Great video of this area, I used to run around there years ago, and I should really go back given I live less then 45 minutes away to the south. I really like the catch of 650 coming out of Enola Yard. Normally empty coal trains comes of D or G track and gets staged at CP-banks until the crew comes, but giving this train had a rare power setup they would have a hard time getting the train going up the grade and onto the main line.
Weatherly has a nice ex-LV station, too bad R&N can’t go there with an excursion train from Jim Thorpe. There’s also no direct switch access to NS at Old Penn Haven, a train would have to back up and pull forward onto NS.
Is it rare to ride the R&N north of Jim Thorpe and see an NS freight along the way?
Wow, to see this line still in operation is a treat! I remember when it was still owned and operated by NS.
Grreat video grreat rr
Nice variety of catches! Nice scenery too!
Way too much power. 😁
No such thing !!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cool!
i recognize that music
We were at Pittston and had a great time
Great chase nice to see LVRM at the end
Like the H66 and the LGSR meet at Coal. Both had great timing.
cant believe 4822 is already dirty
Awesome video!
Always a great spot to hangout at!
god, 4109's horn sounds terrible
My primary train route to Hoboken from Denville when I worked for PANYNJ at Exchange Place in Jersey City (also used the HBLRT daily).
Is this the ont that runs thru the battlefield and crosses 30 going towards Chambersburg?
Awesome catch. Man 10K was long.
Nice video, likes from me !
Nice catch. I might try to catch it if I’m up there
I live on the old PRR line C&D restored. Great shots
Nice catches man!
Hi
I grew up in Staatsburg and have lots of picture and 8 mm films of trains passing at this location of the old station that was finally torn down in 1965
Would love to see the footage!
Very nice catch. Glad your back in NJ.
