At Paradise, there is an NS local which serves the Stock Lumber facility, though I do not know the frequency, it should be a relatively early morning train, also HB32 comes off of the Lititz secondary usually in the evening around 6, I believe it goes up around noon, this can be seen on Amtrak at Lancaster. Good shots, get the AEM-7's while you can, by 2010 they should be mostly replaced. It will be interesting to see them co-exist with new models, until sadly, they fully disappear.
Visit the Amish country frequently and am wondering. Does NS have trackage rights on the Amtrak line between Lancaster and Philadelphia and what’s the train frequency if so?
A crazier co-existence is found in many parts of Europe, where high speed trains go past medieval castles and cathedrals. If I want to see the two Pennsylvanians pass each other, do I have a better chance along Rt 741 west of Gap, or in the town of Gap?
@SantaFe19484 Interesting...If you want to catch the passing of the Pennsylvanians then anywhere between Parkesburg and Lancaster seems to be your best bet. Of the 2 places you mentioned I would go along 741 heading towards Strasburg as there is a long straight stretch there, decent light, and places to park.
I still think when the Harrisburg Line was rebuilt, they should have made it a three track mainline. It used to be four, so clearly there was room. Why not have a swing track, like between Wilmington and Washington?
I hope not. There was talk about making them remans, since Boardman wants to electrify to Richmond. BTW, you were qualified down there. What are the chances of CSX allowing electrification? Pretty much zero, right?
I don't think the meatballs are going anywhere for a long time. As a matter of fact, not only are we going to buy 10 ALP-46's, they intend to restart the "reman" program for the rest of the AEM-7's.

Good video and music. What's the music?

I think the AEM-7's are going to go to Connecticut because i hear they want to do a High Speed commuter rail service

The Empire service trains between NYP and ALB do not have food service either.
hey i stayed at that campground

The 20 DC AEM-7's are going to be gotten rid of once the Alps get here. It is too expensive to reman them.
