    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.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but at 15:35 that's West Lawn right? And the next shot was in West Wyomissing?

    • @fmnut

      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.

      That's what I thought. What I meant by the next shot was the going away shot. West Wyomissing is off to the right.

      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?

    • @fmnut
      @fmnut  10 лет назад

      At Sonnen's Rd just east of Richland.

    • @elirosen1391
      @elirosen1391 10 лет назад

      Thought so. Can you remember if there was a bell at that crossing?

    • @fmnut
      @fmnut  10 лет назад

      elirosen1391 At the time it had flashers/bell only. Gates were added later.

    • @elirosen1391
      @elirosen1391 10 лет назад

      That explains why it had an e-bell for so long.

    • @elirosen1391

      @@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!
