0:40 - (Skip Intro)
6/21/16 - HO61 eases under the State St bridge and past the Amtrak Station as it heads for the Steelton Industrial Track on the east side of town. Normally a nocturnal move following a strict schedule, the hot ingot cars carry hot molten steel from Lehigh Heavy Forge in Bethlehem, PA, for the steel mills in Steelton, but are running a little later today because of a derailment that happened earlier on the branch. Later in the video, we will see the train that delivers these cars to Harrisburg.
0:40 - HO61 - Harrisburg, PA - Steelton, PA
NS GP38-2 5125
Not far behind, the Enola edition of 33A departs Harrisburg Terminal with an older set of 4-axle EMD's with loads of steel piling pipes and piles from Steelton on the head-end.
1:55 - 33A - Baltimore, MD - Enola, PA - Allentown, PA
NS GP59 4616

6/28/16 - A trio of standard cab 6-axle EMD's, including a bright pair of CN SD60's, lead 15T through Richland at sunset.
3:30 - 15T - Allentown, PA - Birmingham, AL
CN SD60 5428
CN SD60 5423
NS SD70 2536
6/29/16 - The following morning, the Reading Local crew 94M with a pair of SD40-2's send some coal west, passing young corn stalks at a farm just outside of Newmanstown. These coal loads are another unusual move-one made about once a month or so, depending on the demand of the Pennsy supply quarry in Annville. The coal is ultimately used in their furnaces in material production.
4:30 - 94M - Reading, PA - Annville, PA
NS SD40-2 3335
NS SD40-2 3346
7/02/16 - The sun has just crested the horizon on a clear summer morning at Milepost 81, blinding the crew of 212 as the hard light shines straight into the train. An old bridge abutment can be seen to the right of frame as the end of the train passes the camera.
6:00 - 212 - Atlanta, GA - Croxton, NJ

NS SD70ACe 1071 (CNJ)
NS D9-44CW 9802

It is unusual to see 25R around mid-day, this normally nocturnal/early morning train collects intermodal cars from North Jersey and Bethlehem en route to the Rutherford Intermodal terminal just east of Harrisburg. A special treat seeing this train includes the hot ingot cars which are picked up from Bethlehem, as explained and seen on HO61 earlier in the video. One of a few remaining yellow SD90MAC's on NS roster leads, soon to be rebuilt into an SD70ACU.
9:50 - 25R - E-Rail, NJ - Rutherford, PA
NS SD9043MAC 7238

Later that afternoon, another solid set of 4-axles powers 33A toward Allentown, crossing over 2-1 at PRESCOTT amid a 25 MPH speed restriction.

NS GP40-2 3038

13:05 - 20K - Chicago, IL - Croxton, NJ
NS ET44AC 3602
NS SD70M-2 2760

Thanks for watching!!!
Man I’ve been binge watching these videos lol. Thank you for documenting the mid-2000’s era NS so well… it’s been massively helpful to me for modeling it in 2 rail. I was just a kid then, and I didn’t know the difference between a dash 8, dash 9 or GEVO lol, they were all just trains to me then.
This video really hit the spot! Amazing work, as always!
Thanks! I really miss seeing trains like this, and this wasn't that long ago!
These videos are always well worth waiting for! Always great locations and the descriptions are informative as well.
Great job...perfect pans, excellent framing and well edited. So good, I could feel the heat and humidity!
Thanks, as always!
Nice video!
Awesome stuff! A steady 20 minutes of good action.
Loved the RS3L on that GP40-2, one of my favorite horns on my most favorite locomotive... Great catch, and also, AWESOME VIDEO. ok im done now lol
Also just saw that C40-8.5W, great catch on that too
As always, super vid. Love that GP59 leader...
Outstanding video as always!
some of those branches may be included in the Keystone Corridor route Project I've made in Train simulator 2017 first their was the NEC then the extension of the Keystone corridor route leading all the way up to Harrisburg and with some minor branches all stops included
Awesome video
awesome video i saw the jersey central on a coal train trailing
3:10 awesome artwork!
Been waiting for this!
The switcher slug is an EMD RP14BD.
Yestderday me and my dad caught a csx on the northest corridor but it only went to the end of the bridge and backed up into morrisville yard which was very rare right
awesome footage! I've always like Richland for train footage! Norfolk Southern dash 9's are 40 cw's not 44's, they bought the 4000hp rating for fuel consumption.
Thanks and yeah they were built as D9-40CW's but all have been reworked to 4400 horsepower. CSX did the opposite with their ES44DC's and converted them down to ES40DC's.
Central Penn Rail Productions oh i wasnt aware of that, sorry bout that.
any idea what caused the original derailment?
Nice Video
So the weird load on the train in the beginning of the video ended up on 25R with the 90MAC?
Correct.
Central Penn Rail Productions when you caught jersey central lines at 7:49 you accidentally said that his number is 1072 his real number is 1071
OMG!
Uh.. seems to be a slight typo, you put the CNJ as NS 1072.
It's alright, we all make mistakes :)
I must have been feeling green when I typed that!
Nice job, but may i suggest that the focus be on the power please and not the trailing cars.
NS is hiring guys.
That 94M
I know, and to think it was retired and sold off a week later!
Central Penn Rail Productions :(
