Surprise NS 11K with the Penn Central HU leading
Author: dschlegel

I headed out to Lyons, PA hoping to catch the 11N with the Monongehalia HU leading after work, and was pleasantly surprised with the Penn Central HU leading 11K instead!

Note the interesting load right behind the power.

As of 5:41PM the 11N still has not rolled through on the Reading Line, maybe I'll catch that in a bit!

Enjoy!

1 engine....some jerk put the max tonnage on it. Patience is a virtue!

Sounds like stuff Mike Bednar used to pull in Allentown yard!

I caught 11N in Topton and it was a slow go for sure!

Nice video! Any idea what that load was right behind the power?

Thanks Thom! Not sure what that load was, I wondered the same thing.

I believe that would be a steam turbine rotor for a power plant.

Lots and lots and lots and lots of flat wheels.  So many more on today's trains that there used to be.
