Passenger Trains > Afternoon Action at Grundy

Just south of Grundy interlocking is an open spot normally used by trucks making deliveries to a lumberyard.  Since they are closed on weekends, it is quiet and wide open for photos.  Here is a random sample taken November 2, 2024 in the late afternoon.  This location is just north of Bristol, PA at the PA Turnpike-Route 13 interchange.  Turn down Green Lane to the railroad overpass.

A long lens will allow you to "reach" in to get the tower and signals without trespassing.

The large bridge over top is the Pennsylvania Turnpike-New Jersey Turnpike connector bridge over the Delaware River.

Numerous active sidings still exist in this area for local freight customers.

Veterans motor, 642, on a northbound.  The orientation of the tracks makes this tough on northbound and morning shots.  An overcast day would work better for those.

Sure doesn't look like Grundy VA! Additional location information would be helpful (I do recognize the NE Corridor).

Nice pictures! Thanks for sharing. Nice long consists on the NEC for sure...
