Thanks for Watching!!!
@Central Penn Rail Productions Thanks! This was a historic run on NS 21M! NS SD70, CN, NS and NS pull a van/stack train. RARE!!
Mind-blowingly perfect and action packed video as always. Love it!!
Great video work and having the detailed train information is very appreciated!
Beautiful and smooth video but what happened to the sun? It is Springtime in rural Pennsylvania isn't it?
Hit or miss...this year has been the same. Some days are cloudless, and the next it's snowing or pouring rain. It was flurrying today as a matter of fact, we are having quite a strange spring this year. Thanks again.
great vidios as usual, greeting from suffolk uk avid ns fan and modeller.
Nice work bud! Your camera work is always superb.
Thanks Adam!
Awesome video!!
3:40 dramatic echo of the K5LLA! Nice video!
awesome video and i subbed to you
Nice catches!
Great video!
I never catch a Norfolk Southern Hertiage Unit and I lived in Raleigh/Durham NC (North Carolina) and I hope I can catch it in time ?
When is the next video coming out?
Cool
Great video! I am hoping to go railfan the Harrisburg line in Robesonia. What is the best time to be there? what is the Milepost and Is there a Defect detector in the area I can tune to to hear approaching trains?
Milepost 71. You can probably hear the 63.5 detector to the east and the one at 79.9 to the west. The sun angle doesn't offer much at this time of year but will be well lit for eastbounds between 9 am and 1 pm...by the time the sun gets good for westbounds it's almost set over the mountain, shadows are a problem here later in the day.
@@CentralPennRailProductions thanks! I will be there in late december so we will see.. as long as i get some good action I am happy. better than my local NECR & VTR action (even though this can be really fun..just not enough trains)
Nice video.
Thanks
