Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS 37A with CNJ at Portage, PA

Today's Westbound NS 37A is seen rolling downgrade through Portage, PA on the NS West Slope with two nearly new NS SD70ACe's ahead of the CNJ Heritage unit, along with a 70M-2, SD90-43MAC, and an SD60E.....Rear helpers assist in braking downgrade on the West Slope....Dave Williams

Thanks....Dave W.

Nice video Dave, directly across the tracks from where you were standing is where my Grandparents lived. You can see their houses in your video. When I was a little guy I would sit for hours watching the PRR buzz by, then the PC and eventually CR. Much of the station was still intact eventually disappearing under the ballast. Guess you could say I had some nice seats along the 50 yard line. Thanks for the memories.

Thanks....Both sets of my Grandparents lived in South Fork, 8 miles West of Portage and I would spend a lot of time watching trains as a kid from their houses too....Dave Williams
