Eastern Railroad Discussion > Some new stuff

On Saturday I spent some time with my son and grandson on the old "Middle division" in Perry county (PA.)
1. Caught the CNJ heritage unit on train 21T by surprise.
2. close up 
3. Most of the trains were rather ordinary, headed by Dash 9's as is this one. (see previous post in the thread on
    the ethanol train for an example) However this one is a little bit more interesting as this engine no.9978 is the 
    highest numbered Dash 9-44CW on the NS.

4. Here we have Amtrak no. 43 as it turned on the approach lighted 124 signal. (extreme telephoto shot with distortion produced 
    by heat.) The signal is an intermediate so is likely to be gone when PTC goes into effect. Above the passenger cars can be seen 
    glimpse of a radio tower for the PTC.
5. Here's a better picture of no. 43. 
6. As a bonus here we see no. 43 arriving into the Harrisburg station on  Sunday with the crew waiting and a protect engine to the 
    side.
