Date: 12/01/16 11:36 Re: NS Harrisburg line action 12/1/16 Author: VFPNSFAN It was a loaded stone train, many Reading and Northern cars if not all of them, from what I heard on the radio it was heading east up the Morrisville connector.
Date: 12/01/16 11:40 Re: NS Harrisburg line action 12/1/16 Author: boejoe Thanks for my trackside "visit" today from the comfort of my desk chair. Gray skies there but looks like temperatures couldn't be too bad as I think I saw a car in video #1 with its convertible top down.
Video #2 seems to be all Reading & Northern hopper cars. I didn't realize they had so many in their fleet. Any idea what mineral was inside those cars? Ballast or crushed stone? Certainly doesn't look like a coal product (but I just had cataract surgery and my eyesiight is not yet 100%) Date: 12/01/16 12:03 Re: NS Harrisburg line action 12/1/16 Author: VFPNSFAN Overcast here today in southeast PA, but very moderate temps, about 55-60 degrees. Train was definetly loaded with stone not coal. It looked like ballast stone to me, not crushed, but corrections are welcome.
