Congratulations AJ on catching your first heritage unit!! I caught the Conrail HU (NS8098) here in Reading a few times. Way back in the late 90s, I remember traveling to Roselle Park from Brooklyn via subway and NJ Transit. Back then, there were a ton of engines still bearing Conrail livery since the merger was still fresh. Good vibes!!
Thanks a lot! The 8098 is definitely an awesome heritage, great you were able to catch it in Reading! I travel from Queens via the subway and of course NJT! Must’ve been awesome seeing them Conrail engines ruling the lines!
@@ajsrailfanning Yes, I took pictures with a disposable camera. Unfortunately, those pics got misplaced in between the relocation process. I so wish I had a smartphone back then.
I thought the gauntlet track was the coolest thing at the time....seeing a track within a track. Makes perfect sense the freights get their own track since they're so much heavier than the commuter trains.
Awesome catches in this video bro and loving the new intro! 🫵🏼😎💯🚂🇺🇸
Thanks Bro! Appreciate the feedback!

Damn man, how unfortunate

Exactly! Plus the freights can go the track limit without worrying about them hitting the sides of the platform.
