2 Heritage, Ex Conrail SD60 and more; Harrisburg, PA; 7-3-15
Author: Railfan94

Headed to the Harrisburg area for a day trip yesterday, and ended the day as one rather happy railfan! Had an amazing 7 hour stay up there, shooting 2 Heritage Units, a BC Rail Cowl Unit, the Reading Diner set for restoration, and an amazing empty coal train, NS 615 with an Ex Conrail SD60 Standard Cab on point! So, here goes: 
#1: Coming of the Port Road, this train sat the entire day waiting to come into the yard with an Ex Conrail Trio, SD40-2 and 2 Ex CSX Exx Conrail SD80MAC's. 
#2: An SD60I, GP59, and SD9043MAC are lined up in Enola Yard
#3: After checking out the yard, we headed west. First location is PITL 116, 'Cove', where 93M heads east under charge of 2 GP38-2's, the leader with a monster P5 equipped for NEC running.

#13: Likely the most amazing train of the day, NS615 heads west under command of a pair of SD60 variants, leader being Standard Cab, and both of Conrail Heritage!
#14: Last train we shot was an unknown manifest cutting away the head end power with an SD40-2 and BC Rail Cowl unit!
#15: This Ex Reading Diner came in on H19 today and is seen sitting in the east end of Enola Yard. 
Hope Everyone Enjoys!!!!
