Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS 68Q in Hershey with NS / NS / UP / UP / UP

Set out to catch the NS 68Q. Heard it was through Newport (PA) around 6:30 am. With that being the case I headed to Cove and Harrisburg, but still not enough light for me to get pics. Did get some nice video at those two locations. So off to CP BEAVER on the Harrisburg Line only to have it blocked by NS 21E coming into Rutherford Yard.
So I moved to Hershey, and arrived just in time to get these shots.

Two lead NS Units were NS 9857 & 8432.
On the way back by Enola I hear a 593 ready to leave Enola with the NS 1074 trailing.

Pretty good way to start the day! LOL
Enjoy. Thanks for looking!

SUPER pics!!!!!

Nice pictures. Are those two smoke stacks at the Hershey chocolate plant ?
John

Yes, they are the Hershey chocolate factory smoke stacks. Fortunately, these smoke stacks will stay even though much of the origional factory will be torn down soon.
