I was born and raised in Quakertown and remember when this rail line ran all the way to Bethlehem,mainly to Bethlehem Steel.I remember the Reading Railroad running,then Conrail and now East Penn Railroad.My grandparents house was on Hellertown Ave and we as boys played around the original train station.I remember when they ran passenger service.My great-grandfather worked as a conductor and died while working.That's who i'm named for.I am very familiar with this whole rail line.Thanks for the video.I also noticed the ex-CN engine sitting at the rail station siding.

Awesome video!
That engine is now on its way to Minnesota.
Do they still use this one and do they have any other GE's on the roster?

Septa should reactivate this branch.
