Hi, On Thursday, September 5, Friend Jim Kleeman and I left on a ten day trip to Pennsylvania and New York. Our emphasis was on a series of shortlines starting with the Lycoming Valley in the Williamsport, PA area.
The Lycoming Valley's yard is in Newberry, PA. While we were hanging out at the east end of the yard a local arrived with SW9 #238 for power (above and below).
Meanwhile an NS coal train was being loaded. Trucks would bring in the coal and dump it on a pile. Then front end loaders would pick up the coal and dump the coal into hopper cars.
When the train was loaded it pulled east and
was spotted a track over (above and below).
Our goal was to photograph the run from Newberry to Northumberland, PA, train LV1, where the Lycoming Valley interchanges with NS. The LV has a pair of GP35s painted in a Reading inspired paint scheme and we hoped they would be on the train. Unfortunately only one of the units was on the train which we photographed at Hiller Road in Montoursville, PA (above and below).
Our final location for this train was Muncy, PA with at sunset (above and below).
Thanks for looking.
