611 starting south
Author: sscannella

The Enola-based HO02 crew has the honors of moving the 611 south to Hagerstown today. Here it is crossing Rockville Bridge in heavy haze, then pulling up the connector from the Harrisburg Line to the Lurgan Line at CP-PAXTON in downtown Harrisburg, then crossing the Susquehanna River on the former Reading Bridge just beyond CP-FRONT STREET @ 10:45 am

And video of it climbing up the connector to the Lurgan. That's the Harrisburg Transportation Center to the left.

Very nice. Especially the always captivating multiple arches and reflections at the Reading bridge. 611 looks much better facing forward compared to being dragged around backwards!
By the way the haze is reported to be from a massive forest fire in Nova Scotia. It has been prompting health warnings in the Philadelphia area.

Water stop @ Hagerstown Vardo yard: depart: 14:23 p.m.
I81/US11 traffic and work zones at exits made it difficult to keep up.
