A stop at Taylor Yard - #901 U23B in O&W paint switching cars, NYS&W SD45 3620 & D&H (ex Reading GP39-2) 7409 on the move, and a string of Guildford / D&H GP38-2's, ex-Reading GP39-2's in waiting.
Hello RWhite! I used to work at AT&T in Reading 20+ years ago, and spent many lunchtimes at "CP Schwambachs" diner parking lot watching and recording Conrail and R&N trains. I remember your Dad stopping there and had many conversations with him, along with a number of other railfans. Some names I remember were Paul (worked at Fromm Electric), one man who worked at Clover Farms Dairy, Fred Leer (Met Ed) and (sadly) some others whose names I can't recall. I really like the videos that you're sending to TH-cam! I posted a number on my own TH-cam channel (STC Yardmaster). I recently retired so I should have more time to compile and add to my collection. I plan to get back to the Reading area to do some "before and now" videos - although many of the locations that I used to shoot videos/photos from are now either too tree-covered, built-up, or otherwise inaccessible. Just like CP Belt. The diner is gone and replaced with a car dealership. ... STC Yerdmaster - just subscribed

The O&W is the highlight of this video for me. An iconic road with an awesome history.

Cool video and channel just subscribed
Morrison-Knudsen would later rebuild these units, at taxpayer expense on behalf of the bankrupt D&H. 🚂
