Eastern Railroad Discussion > A couple of grab videos while camping in Fleetwood, PA

I had the privilege of camping in the Fleetwood park this weekend with my daughter's scout troop. In addition to watching scout troops work as teams in less than ideal weather, I was treated to dozens of NS trains rolling by on the NS Reading Line.

One of the highlights railroad wise was the 15T headed west with the NS 8099 Southern Heritage Unit leading.

Here it is!

Just a few moments after 15T rolled west this manifest rolled east with an all-EMD set of power sounding great!

On a slightly related note, my dad told the story to me many times over the years of him camping in the Fleetwood park with his scout troop in 1962. He kept seeing these bright green and yellow locomotives running that he had never seen before, and later learned from the engineer of the East Penn Local that serviced Kutztown that he had seen the Reading's brand new GP30's on their first runs over the then East Penn Branch.

Enjoy!
