A few shots from Eastern PA today
Author: dschlegel

I took off of work today and went watching trains with my brother (beertrain). It was blazing hot, but we had some nice catches.
First up the East Penn railroad's GP38-3 2801 (GATX reporting marks) waits to head into Reading Yard at Sinking Spring, PA.
Next up the 36Q pulls to a stop at Sinking Spring to await the 21M to clear Wyomissing Jct.
Next a 25M baretable train (new symbol to me) with a pair of BNSF units trailing heads west at Richland, PA
More to follow......

Next up is 19G at Richland, PA
Then we caught the H47 reversing off the Evansville secondary at Laurel to make a run-around on the former Laurel siding (between West Laurel and Belt).
Next to the east end of Fleetwood to catch the power of 18N passing a holding 38G and the grave marker for the Dreiblebiss family.
A few more coming.......

We then headed a little further east to Macungie to close out the day.

Here's the H68 (with the 6698 leading the 6140) meeting the 20K
After H68 cleared, a bunch of track maintenance equipment came off the old Tyler pipe siding to work Main 1 towards Emmaus
The HA11 slows through Macungie to work Buckeye Pipeline's LPG sidings while the track equipment pulls onto Main 1

Other noteable trains that I didn't have great photos of from today were the NS34 Geometry train (operating as a 905) and a high none GP38-2 trailing on the HA11.
Thanks for looking!
Dan

East when I saw it at sinking Spring, it then went into Reading and was measuring all over the area today. I don't know if it went east of Reading though.
