    Amtrak just resumed service yesterday ( 6/3/2020 ) on that line . Glad to see you decided to travel to the Strasburg area. The main freight activity goes through Lebanon, Pa on the Harrisburg line. I am about a 90 minute drive from there. Have a good day !

      Very cool! Amtrak ran some dead head moves and light engine moves over the line to prevent the rails from getting rusty. The rust messes up the signals

      @@MrPeerum Unfortunately , the US Government seems to be more concerned about how much money it will bring in as Amtrak has been a long standing financial problem. I know that the state of Florida has been implementing it's own version version of high speed rail and does not require government assistance.

The Port Road, the old A&S Low Grade, trestles, a dam! Check it out!

    Yes it was strange to see the NS train there. 99% sure Virtual Railfan cam caught it as it normally focuses there at the Strasburg Railroad interchange and U.S 30 overpass. NS normally goes through Norristown, Pottstown, Reading and then into Harrisburg. Old Reading Railroad Line. I Live along the NS Harrisburg Line Between Pottstown and Norristown. So I know NS is hardly there in Paradise, Pa. So it's Mainly Amtrak all the way from Philadelphia to Harrisburg.
