Eastern Railroad Discussion > 19G with a DODX caboose and LORAM on the Reading LineDate: 10/01/22 12:54 19G with a DODX caboose and LORAM on the Reading Line Author: dschlegel I got lucky over lunch today and caught the 19G with a great consist as well as a caboose, and then the rail grinder just a few minutes later.
First video is 19G at Lyons, PA, the second is the LORAM grinding at Kohler Road in Bowers, PA. Enjoy! Dan Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/01/22 12:54 by dschlegel.

I think I saw a couple R&N boxcars in the first video. As for the Loram, don't think I've ever seen it "at speed". Was your dad with you trackside with the tri-pod?

The guy with the tripod is not my dad. I forget his name but he only recently got into being a railfan and can be see all along the Reading Line. Glad you enjoyed the videos!!

It was grinding prior to the crossing, you can see the fringing assemblies being lifted as the equipment nears the crossing, and drop back down after the crossing.
