Those shots at the temple station really made my day! My family owned a house right up the road that we built before the station was even there! It’s still there to this day and I can remember visiting my grandparents and running down the road to the railroad crossing whenever I heard the trains!
Really enjoying this film. I only got into these locos when I purchased a Lionel U36 2971 recently, which is awesome. Here in UK we have the impressive class 70 loco which is both mine and my son's favourite, and how I wish we also had some of these meaty freight locos. Thanks for posting.
I miss the hood unit design. Those GE's (C40-8's, C44-9's) with the pointed snouts were awesome, and my favorites, the dragster looking SD40-2's, are classics! Guess we'll never see this type of locomotive produced again.
15:35 is West Lawn. There used to be a footbridge behind Victor's Café that was removed during the PA Clearance Project. The next shot is just west of Wyomissing Jct., a very popular spot even today for railfans. There is no actual place named West Wyomissing.
@@fmnut I finally got my answer about Sonnen's Road crossing: gates and flashers only, no bell until NS took over. I have Steve Neff to thank for that!

Nice to see some B40-8's.
Awesome footage! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome collection!!
Correct me if I'm wrong but at 15:35 that's West Lawn right? And the next shot was in West Wyomissing?

That's what I thought. What I meant by the next shot was the going away shot. West Wyomissing is off to the right.
I miss Big Blue.
9:52 You sure as hell don't see many black crossbucks
Around what years were the videos taken ? I miss the cabooses
Jamie C 1989 and 1990. Cabooses were gone from road freights in this area by 1985. Only on locals after that time.
What year is this video?
Early 1990s.
At which location is the power move at 12:47?
At Sonnen's Rd just east of Richland.
Thought so. Can you remember if there was a bell at that crossing?
elirosen1391 At the time it had flashers/bell only. Gates were added later.
That explains why it had an e-bell for so long.
