Eastern Railroad Discussion > The Beast is Still Alive

Pennsylvania Northeastern GE C39-8 #8212 picked up cars from the ESPN in Telford, Pa this afternoon then headed to home in Lansdale, Pa. Nice cut of reefers from the colkd storage warehouse in Quakertown. First image rounding the Telford Curve heading south on the former Reading Bethlehem Branch. Second passing the recently renovated Souderton, Pa station - side note the new restaurant, called the Northbound, has good food. Last image crossing Township Line Road.

No, it was repainted about a year ago
