Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS Reading Line today

Here are a pair of grab videos from today along the NS Reading Line.

First is what I think was 21M flying through Topton, PA. I live a block from here and had stopped at the Market Cafe in the train station to grab takeout.

Second is a monster 11K rambling through Lyons, PA a bit after 5 this afternoon. Lyons is about 3.5 miles west of Topton.

Enjoy!

That one was just a baby 11K! It was only 158!

Nice set of videos! Does Deka still ship from the siding in Lyons?

Thanks!

Deka stopped using that siding about ten years ago when they built a massive new building west of Lyons that includes two tracks. One for tank cars and the other for box cars.

The only thing I’ve seen on the in-town siding is MOW equipment or bad order cars.

There are actually 3 tracks at new Deka. One goes into the building and has spots for plastic pellets at the end as well.

I never noticed that, thanks Chewie!

With all the cars they get it really makes you wonder how they kept up before. Especially with acid. They will go through three tank cars A DAY. It sure cut down on a lot of the truck traffic that used to come through Fleetwood.
