Eastern Railroad Discussion > Pennsylvania Northeastern's best 2011-present

I dug into the archives all the way back to 2011 to bring to you all the best of the PN action. Some of the pictures were posted before but the majority are not repeats. I'm only posting the pictures that stood out to me over the years.
The list contains 21 pictures so better get a cold or warm beverage of some sort ;)

#1 PN L160 leaning into the Telford curve going north. This was my very first time taking pictures of the PN. I have taken approximately 900 pictures of the PN since starting in August 2011.

#2 Nose shot of the PN #5577 going north threw the center of Telford in 2011

#3 Trailing along was PN #8212 Ex CR C39-8. The operation was so new that 8212 still retained it's CR Horn.

Now we jump to 2012

#4 PN Ex CN 5315 was new to service in this pic as it switches the Telford Interchange.

#5 PN 5315 crossing over top the mural that brightens up the center of Souderton.

#6 This day was a treat. It was a nice spring day and the PN decided to bring a 37 car train up to telford using both C39-'s 8211 and 8212 plus 5315 cut back on car.

More Coming.

#7 The very Large PN L160 rumbling by Telford Station.

#8 The reason for the 5315 being cut back one car was so they could work Moyer & Son. The picture is 5315 coming back from Moyer & son

#9. The next day they came up again with the two GE's to interchange a few cars with the ESPN in Telford. Here they are sitting having lunch on the Telford curve.

#10 It is now summer 2012 and this was I believe my first picture on my new camera.

#11 Not sure when this was taken but I decided to include it also. Working on the northern end of the Telford Interchange.

#12 PN 8211 trailing south by Souderton. Note the trees if you come today they have all been cut down and changing this shot forever.

#13 The last Lansdale day special is slowly making it's way by PN 8212 and 5577

#14 PN 8212 was used to drag 5342 back into the yard after the final Lansdale special returned to Lansdale.

#15 Now it is 2013 and once again the PN has brought up 8212 and 8211 to the Telford interchange. Many different angels of prospective to be achieved in one area make it fun to experiment.

#16 PN L160 accelerates out of the Telford curve south towards points beyond.

#17 The very first run for PN 5342 in her new look. Going south threw Souderton.

#18 And the next few will be of yesterday's run. To learn more Look for RDG630's post PN Duo.

Still More

#19 PN L160 passing by former RDG station south.

#20 PN 5342 and 5577 sitting on the Telford curve while the crew eat at the Vietnam cafe.

#21 Final Photo of PN L160 going by Moyer and Son.

So as you can all see the PN has changed in many ways over the short time they have operated.
My guess on the future is that the two GE's 8211-8212 will be knocked of the roster.
The Current roster of Locomotives is:
GE C39-8 #8211-8212, EMD SD40-2 #5577, EMD SD40-2W #5342 & 5315, Rebuilt EMD GP9rm #7010

Thanks for looking.
I apologise for the redundancy of the locations but I tried my best at keeping the angels Fresh.
