No, it is Lilly...3 miles West of Cresson....Cresson has no overhead bridges to stand on.....Bridge Street in Lilly crosses over the mainline just West of MP 254 which is where this video was shot from....I am presently staying at Cresson at The Station Inn which is located at MP251......Dave Williams

Nice video, Dave! I just got back from a trip to The Station Inn last Thu-Sat. I miss is already! :( Tell Tom Craig said hi! Hope you enjoy your stay!

OK, now I know where you're at. When I think of Lilly, I think of that
great sweeping curve south of town. That place will be full of color
in a few more weeks!

Yes...the bridge at Lilly is a good spot to shoot Westbounds stretched out on the long straightaway....Dave W
