Date: 07/07/15 08:10 Re: Thunder! Author: boejoe As I recall the Scranton situation, freight trains don't get much of a head start before they hit a grade - in either direction.

Date: 07/07/15 15:32 Re: Thunder! Author: sscannella Nice Pics Ed, part pf the reason I head north about every 10 days or so to visit my parents in Scranton. BUT...you just posted these exact same two pictures here yesterday!!!
Date: 07/07/15 17:25 Re: Thunder! Author: ns2557 Gotta love it. Only thing I can even think of that compares to it is, being on the flight deck of an Air Craft Carrier during flight ops at night. All you're senses are active. From sight to sound, feel, smell, and even taste. This is why I will always love ALCO's. Only the GE Uboats come close. Thanks for sharing Ed. Ben
