Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS 34A w/Reading HU Leader

After getting a tip on Friday from my buddy "perklocal" that the NS 10K was headed for Allentown with the 1067 in the DPU position, I figured there would be a chance it could head back west on Staurday. Turns out it was on on the lead of 34A (Allentown to Conway). I turned on the scanner Saturday morning and no sooner heard "3 step NS 1067 34A" doubling at Allentown. 34A at Emmaus, Pa. MP. 29 on the Reading Line

Nice one Tom !  She is starting to really look like an old RDG unit.

Yeah you were lucky! Was that taken from the Fire Company #1 parking lot?

Nice catch!  I am curious as to where the stack cars came from and where they are going.

Those are the stacks that use to go on 37T to Buffalo. They now go the long way via Bellevue.

I was wondering when this Reading unit would show up here on TO, (I'm it probably has before)
Because I caught a quick glimpse of only the "Bee Line" logo on the side, 3rd unit in, on the head end of a BNSF eastbound stack train, here in Riverside, quite a few months ago.

At first I thought: "Wow, that must be an old lease unit from somewhere!" especially since it was pretty weathered looking, but then I Googled Bee Line Service, and found out it is a NS heritage unit.

Nice Video, and congrats on VOTD, especially cool since it's running on ex Reading line!
