Dreary Day on the NS Reading Line
Author: dschlegel

This weekend has been an almost carbon copy of last weekend as far as the weather goes. Rainy/misty/damp and generally raw with temps in the low 50's.

I did get out a bit this morning though. Here's the 19G westbound on the single track at Blandon, PA.

More to come..........

After seeing 19G I heard 11N calling the signals at Alburtis, so I headed east to Fleetwood, PA.

Here is 11N at the Franklin St. crossing.

One more.......

Finally, this evening while walking Dixie the rescue beagle I was able to catch the westbound H44 'Abrams Man' on the south side of the tracks at the Main St. crossing in Topton, PA.

Have a great week everyone!

Thanks for the pictures.  H44 looks like a pretty nice train.  Is that a typical length?

Thanks

(Cute dog, by the way!)

Thanks!

This is a typical H44, lots of mixed freight including coil steel cars and RBMN anthracite.

Great rainy day enter"train"ment.
Video 1 looks like an MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Corp) container in the field?  Do my eyes deceive me or am I seeing correctly?
Video 2 has an unusual crossing gate attachment to the pole at this location.
Video 3: Dixie seems to be saying "can we go home now?"

BoeJoe: I may be wrong, but it appears that the container is on a chassis possibly sitting in a parking lot or business out of sight of the pic.
