Hopper train on the cutoff?
Author: HB90MACH

I 66 car train of Reading and Northern coal cars lead by two ns units elephant style just went past county line road north ound on the PRR trenton cutoff.  Are they bound for the steel plant in Morrisville?  They appeared to be loaded. Time 10:28 am

Trash train NS63V derailed in Wyomissing. Trains are rerouting. ron

Although RBMN is partnered with Kinder Morgan in Fairless Hills, PA, to export anthracite coal.

Any more trains going to be going over the Cut-Off?? I live in Paoli and would love to see any train besides the ones that run between the Mittal Steel plants or Septa on the Mainline.

It was dead the rest of the day. 20E made that move past you. I still dont know how the hopper train got to the cut off to go north since it was loaded Reading and Northern coal cars.

Probably came off the Harrisburg Line. 520 doesn't go by Wyomissing so it wouldn't be affected by the derailment.

Interchanged from the RBMN at Reading going to Morrisville being exported IIRC

Not sure, they're both loaded coal trains (520 and 684). Both have different cars though.
520 goes to Morrisville
684 goes to Baltimore
