Those shots at the temple station really made my day! My family owned a house right up the road that we built before the station was even there! It’s still there to this day and I can remember visiting my grandparents and running down the road to the railroad crossing whenever I heard the trains!
Really enjoying this film. I only got into these locos when I purchased a Lionel U36 2971 recently, which is awesome. Here in UK we have the impressive class 70 loco which is both mine and my son's favourite, and how I wish we also had some of these meaty freight locos. Thanks for posting.
I miss the hood unit design. Those GE's (C40-8's, C44-9's) with the pointed snouts were awesome, and my favorites, the dragster looking SD40-2's, are classics! Guess we'll never see this type of locomotive produced again.
15:35 is West Lawn. There used to be a footbridge behind Victor's Café that was removed during the PA Clearance Project. The next shot is just west of Wyomissing Jct., a very popular spot even today for railfans. There is no actual place named West Wyomissing.
@@fmnut I finally got my answer about Sonnen's Road crossing: gates and flashers only, no bell until NS took over. I have Steve Neff to thank for that!

when Conrail was still around in Reading, it was like the Reading company never folded up.. just got a makeover
Awesome footage! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome collection!!
Nice to see some B40-8's.
Correct me if I'm wrong but at 15:35 that's West Lawn right? And the next shot was in West Wyomissing?

That's what I thought. What I meant by the next shot was the going away shot. West Wyomissing is off to the right.
I miss Big Blue.
9:52 You sure as hell don't see many black crossbucks
Around what years were the videos taken ? I miss the cabooses
Jamie C 1989 and 1990. Cabooses were gone from road freights in this area by 1985. Only on locals after that time.
At which location is the power move at 12:47?
At Sonnen's Rd just east of Richland.
Thought so. Can you remember if there was a bell at that crossing?
elirosen1391 At the time it had flashers/bell only. Gates were added later.
That explains why it had an e-bell for so long.

What year is this video?
Early 1990s.
