Thanks.

Where will they go from Harrisburg??

What time does anybody think they will be pulling into the Harrisburg station?

will they leave Harrisburg, PA southbound today as well? what time can we expect them in Lynchburg or whatever?

12 noon update: Coming into Harrisburg, PA feed range just met a train and they asked for a car count and they (jokingly?) said 25.

How far is feed range for Harrisburg? I'd like to see it on the R'ville Bridge.

not sure how far, never really listened to it.

Where's this train headed after it arrives at Harrisburg?

That is a SHARP looking entourage. Tail is pretty neat. The Housekeeping staff has some work to do...pillows and chairs strewn about as viewed thru the windows! Stop-n-go just south of the Rt. 39 overpass provided some quality viewing at close range.

See it if you can, nice pieces all around.

Hagerstown, Md. down the Lurgan District s.b.

When is it scheduled to depart Harrisburg for Hagerstown? I might head over that way this afternoon.

The OCS was fueling at the pad in Harrisburg around 12:15. The new crew is called for 4:00 pm. at Hagerstown.

Thanks!!

Foaming at mouth: "Ohhhhhh, Gota-gota-gota-gota, geta-geta-geta out therrrreeeeeeeee and get some photos!"

Later: photo location looks like the first day of deer season in Pennsylvania or the first day of trout season in a New England state.

All in fun. If only I could draw a cartoon.

You go that right!

Where's Bruce Johnson when we need him???

THANKS JB!

Your report was just the ticket and the timing perfect for lunch hour!

NS OCS was on Rockville Bridge at 1211, passed the fuel pad, through Harrisburg and on the Lurgan Branch by 1258.

My usual spot to photograph Rockville Bridge on the east shore of the Susquehanna River was under 5 feet of water. I was alone up by the guardrail on Front St. I'll let those with better cameras post the panoramic shots of the bridge. My little HP 735 grab camera (3.2MP) has to be on a tripod for these.

Photo #1: PA Route 39 (Linglestown Road) - Had a lot of company here (including two from West Virginia).

Photo #2: South Front St (Harrisburg [Shipoke]) - Alone again (note high water lapping at walkway).

Have fun chasing and stay safe!
