How far is your photo location from Pottstown,pa and how do you get to it ? We go to Pottstown every may for there doowop concerts...Scoob

From Pottstown, 422 east (about 10 miles to the Pheonixville exit (route 29 south). 29 right into town. Or 724 east right into town. You want the set of tracks on the west side of the river.

VERY hit or miss traffic wise. There’s a good chance of sitting trackside all afternoon and only see two trains.

Scoob - Google Delaware Valley Paving, 330 Pawlings Rd, Phoenixville PA.  Directly across the street is an access road that takes you back to Perkiomen Junction, tracks are on your left after about 200 yards from Pawlings Rd.  You can park right there.  Best light is in AM.  You'll catch 21E, 26T, 14G, and H44, most days between 6:30-10:30. About 30 minutes from Pottstown.  

Stone trains are starting to pick up, but it gets pretty quiet after those four trains.  You will see H44 come back west about one to two hours after he gets to Abrams.  There was an east bound 94M yesterday at 2:10PM, that was rare.  Also catch the occasional coal train(506-507-520-521), usually in AM but not always.  Next daily train you would see is 39G coming west usually in the 4-6pm window.  Does run regularly with DPUs now.  




Thanks Poppa Joe!!  Team work makes the dream work!!
