Quite a collection of gondolas at end of train.  Some of them look like new as I've never seen that class before.
Interesting that #1800 was seen in NJ and posted earlier today on T.O.

Train 60N/61N, steel slab/empties train, has all fairly new gondolas like those.  They are starting to get some graffiti.  Those cars are probably going back to NJ.

Interesting consist, and a long one.  I counted 147 cars.  Thanks for showing the whole train.  I'm pretty sure the 86' high cube boxcars are loads of replacement auto parts headed to a parts depot somewhere in NJ, but I could be wrong about that.

Congrats!, and very nice catch of interesting power and cars!
Also Interesting is the bridge stuff to the left bottom and center of video, was that a 2nd track at one time?

There are currently two tracks here.  This is the NS Harrisburg line between Philadelphia and Reading at MP 24.5.  The building in the background is the ex-Reading Perkiomen Junction passenger station.  Currently it is occupied by me with my pool/spa service company.  At one time this was a four track main line with passenger and freight service.  Glad everyone enjoyed.  Had help from FB groups knowing this one was coming.  23 frosty degrees when 14G came by.

Here's a pic of Perk Jct. back in 1974 when the RDG was still four tracks.  Unlike the former passenger station, the tower on the east side of the railroad is long gone.
