- The trains keep getting better and better as the long days of summer open up some great photo angles. As usual, a variety of trains and locations will be shown throughout this program, including an excessive display of foreign power and rare locomotives thrown into the mix. These videos take place on the Norfolk Southern Harrisburg Line between Reading and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and was shot between the first day of summer, throughout July 2014. Train descriptions, as well as the time they appear in the video, are listed below.

7/9/14 - Another rare engine finds its way across the Harrisburg Line in the form of a CN/IC "smurf" Dash-8 trailing on a loaded crude oil train for South Jersey. I'm glad I got this shot when I did, because the corn is now too tall to see the tracks from here.

7/25/14 - A second section of 262 heads past DORF with the newest GE power from two different railroads on the point. This was a lengthy roadrailer compared to recent trains I have seen, but they are becoming shorter and will soon be a thing of the past because the Triple Crown trailers will be hauled on flat cars.

That last consist though, amazing catches.
Stellar work. Love your attention to detail!
Great video! Just recently found your channel and I really enjoy it!
I also love PA!
From Mechanicsburg
Really interesting affect where the shadows of the bridge and the wires appear on the cars of the 1st train
really terrific. great quality, editing., content. 100% ...thank you..
Geoff.England.
Excellent video work, sir! Love how you work props into the videos---stations, grain-elevators and all. Very nice!
Nice Catch of that BNSF in Executive colors
Love it! Great photography.
Loved it Eric, awesome catches and footage as always, loved that SOO leader at the end!
Thanks Dan; things have been decent through here this year (but not compared to CSX!). I agree with the SOO, but I just missed it in perfect light by a couple of minutes.
Central Penn Rail Productions Sure thing Eric! And nah man I think NS is doing pretty well so far! The BNSF GEs get old after a while down here, and ahhh, been there done that, the sky can be a bitch sometimes!
Excellent work as usual! I always really enjoy watching your videos.
Mr AutoGRE.. Thanks for the kind words of support. I wasn't aware whistles/bells helped prevent all collisions at crossings. They were both activated for all 3 of the collisions I've had in addition to crossing gates/bells/lights. If a video is posted and comments allowed, they are both examples of free speech. Some even ask for feedback. I don't see what was mean spirited about the comments but thanks for the lesson on bell/whistle noise and it's application on American railroads. Very educational stuff.
T H opp
WOW!!! Great video Eric. Amazing catches. It is starting to be rare to see a train with no foreign power! Lol
Man, Eric. You got some good stuff this summer. Nice work.
like the place's you shoot from,,,,nice video
Great movie!
Awesome catches keep up the good work
Very nice video! Keep it up with more!!
A good piece indeed, "excessive" is the perfect term to describe all of the color out there as of late. There was plenty of "whose railroad is it anyway" being played the last time I spent a couple days around Harrisburg. Nice grabs though, I think we got that CSXT 604 at least twice on the PA portion of last week's trip shuttling back and forth on stack jobs. I really dug the shot of the 15T in Annville, we seriously considered driving back out to Shendanoah Junction to wait out that 15T with the SOO leader last Monday...until we realized that our time was better spent eating and not worrying about a damn thing back at Point of Rocks lol. Has the chocolate plant really been torn down already?
Great catches!!!
I enjoy these videos.
Awesome Catches
Very awesome video!!!
Nice job my friend on Google+ friends
Of course you got that 15T.. I made the drive to Chatt, and it came at about midnight. Yay for my luck. Great job, however!
I guess the timing of that train down there is dicey, much like the running of 16T up here. And here I was just mad I couldn't get the train in sunlight because the clouds decided to show up about 45 minutes before the train came.
That sucks.. the first thing we heard was the power had been changed as it was going to depart.. then it left at 9:30, so unless I had pocket sunshine, I wasn't going to see it.
Great video! Is it my impression or now there seems to be a lot of run trugh power and classic SDs on line ?
SOO 6044 STILL exists?! Wow!
Nice video lots of older power out it seems CSX is bringing units out of storage too and great scenery there in Pa here in Baltimore where CSX is its mostly Ghetto and not pleasant
Great angles and lighting. Information on symbols for everything. What ruined it for me was bell/whistle noise in every segment except one. It completely drowns out the sound of the locomotives.
T H You should probably refrain from watching videos of trains.
T H please refrain from watching the video's of trains and for that fact any train video. Your comment's are also pretty mean towards the person that made the video as well. Let Me EXPLAIN something to you, Here in the USA the Horn's are USED TO ALERT the MOTORISTS OF ONCOMING TRAINS AND IT PREVENTS DEATHS FROM HAPPENING AS WELL. PROVEN FACT HERE!!!!! And if you still don't take into consideration of what is said then i have to say my friend that you should TAKE A HIKE and LEAVE THE RAILFAN'S AND RAILROADERS ALONE PERIOD. NO IF'S ANDS OR BUTS ABOUT IT
Great train video,many different RR's. I don't know how some people can record the same thing over and over, gets boring. Not your video!
Thanks, I try. Since I only live near one Class I railroad it's hard for me to video anything besides Norfolk Southern. But thankfully they run enough variety of trains, locomotives, and foreign railroads through here to keep things interesting. The nearest CSX line is over 2 hours away.
