Nice catches !

I'm a little east of that area (but everything that moves past Abrams, Valley Forge, etc) moves past me as well.

One of the more careful patch jobs I've seen done recently.

Doug,
That first photo is a beauty! Nice color, too bad they stuck that black fence there.
The crew on that slab train likes you!

Thanks guys.  That station is a nice place to catch a train.  

Gonut- I've made a few friends through my Facebook group.  I'm surprised how many guys are NS employees.  It seems there isn't as much a stigma of being a rail fan/railroader as there once was.  Which is good for the rail fans.  I've connected with several employees and really developed nice friendships with a few.

All the best to you in 2019!

Doug

That's actually a Worn-bonnet...  Well worn but looking pretty good for an almost 25 year old paint job
