Trains Racing Side-By-Side on the NS Harrisburg Line

  • Two races on two seperate days, happenings like this are not uncommon on the Harrisburg Line due to the stack of unidirectional traffic at different times of the day.
    3-15-09 at Richland we see hot trailers overtaking a freight.
    20W
    NS SD70M-2 2752
    NS SD60I 6739
    10N
    NS D9-40CW 9663
    NS D9-40CW 9424
    (Again I apologize for the choppy look because I taped in interlaced mode rather than progressive)
    Then on 3-21-09 (this time in progressive format thankfully)... 34A leads a soon-to-overtake 21M through the downtown rough-track of Lebanon, PA.
    34A
    NS SD60I 6750
    NS D9-40C 8853
    NS GP40-2 3010
    NS RP-E4 Slug 912 (one of two in existence)
    NS GP40-2 3004
    21M
    NS D9-40CW 9884
    NS SD60I 6757 "Conrail Quality"
    Unfortunately I had to go to the "dark-side" for this shot to work out, but it didn't turn out bad at all.
    Enjoy, and I'll try my best to catch some more of these during the day, it happens mostly at night.

    I was a conductor for CP RAIL along the susquehanna river, and some towns (like Halifax) we could stick our hand out the window and almost touch the houses.

    Now that's some superb parallel action! Great video!!

    @wle200 15 лет назад +6

    wow, the 2nd set of trains even ended at the same time! Great video!

  • @Charonview
    @Charonview 11 лет назад +9

    Wow! Super cool! Thanks much for posting and thanks for including the whole train in the video. Also - rather scary bouncing locos!

  • @JoeRantCT
    @JoeRantCT 14 лет назад +2

    Wow. On the second set of trains, you can almost see the springs on the locomotive hopping up and down due to the bumps on the tracks.

      When I see that in vids, I can't help wonder how crew feel about all that bouncing around, especially at speed!
      That makes me....____ my pants just watching!(jk.🤣) but DAMN!
      Absolutely terrific videos, new sub!👍🏿

  • @Gracebeliever077
    @Gracebeliever077 11 лет назад +5

    Awesome Catch! Seriously crazy bounce-action in the 2nd scene. Suspension system working overtime! That, folks, is why crossings indicate how many tracks are present. Man that's fantastic stuff. Thanks for sharing.

  • @buckeyerails15
    @buckeyerails15 8 лет назад +7

    One of them had a Conrail SD60M on it!

    @gvtuber 13 лет назад +1

    Dude you freakin rock!
    5 min. before both of those shots, when you looked down the rails at the CTCs and saw green lights on both rails, you musta sprinted to the car to get set-up. Still there was no guarantee that they'd run that closely together. Born under a luck star, or sumpin.
    Your NS is some of the best year round. Keep it coming.

    There are bridges there at 9th. and 10th streets. No more bouncing trains over bad crossings in Lebanon,Pa.

  • @BudmanPackfan
    @BudmanPackfan 14 лет назад

    very nice video. Loved it that you captured the trains bouncing over the crossing. And thanks so much for the great documentation on your videos. Outstanding. Looking forward to more. Oh, and thanks for using a tripod!

    Very nice work again! Glad to see the CR unit mixed in there..like old times on the Harrisburg/Reading lines.
    8899896: cabooses are still used, but on locals and work trains now.

  • @davidbarnett9312
    @davidbarnett9312 10 лет назад +5

    Never seen that kind of action. You'd think the little burg they run through would have some kind of speed ordinance, especially with what appears to be tracks in sore need of repairs. Still, great video and great trains.

  • @pahogger
    @pahogger 15 лет назад +2

    Eric, this vid is great! I caught some side by side action in Hershey before too, I loved it. You never let us down that's for sure! 5 * rate!

  • @rayjsu70
    @rayjsu70 14 лет назад

    Hope they correct that dip at the grade crossing on the north track.
    Glad that they go together because they block grade crossings for less time.

    @GTRailroadVideos 15 лет назад
