Standard Cab EMD’s Growling Through Topton, PA
Author: dschlegel

Thanks to a timely heads up from a member of the unofficial East Penn Valley Railfan Network and fellow TO member globalethanol, I was able to catch H73 growling through town tonight.

Enjoy the sweet serenade!

Dan

Would be interesting to see if that power comes back LHF.

I’ll probably be studying the inside of my eyelids when he comes back!

This train’s power sounded great in person. I could hear the exhaust in Topton from at least Alburtis which is about 6 miles east!

Wasn't the 44, it was the 73.

GP 38-2's doing what they do best. Making terrific stack noise. Those 645's can bark with some weight on their tails. I try to catch them on Horseshoe Curve where they run every night Monday through Friday. On a night where they have a long train, I can hear them from quite a way off.

That's a late 73. Whatever, you can't get that stuff by me. Did that come east on 74?

You probably heard them coming up the hill! I think we rattled every window in Emmaus.
