Didn't expect to catch 3 trains at once. East Bound - Jordan Spreader & SD80MAC #7215 West Bound - Garbage Train Dash 9 #9216 East Bound - Mixed Freight SD40E #6320 ( Lead Locomotive ) Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - LiveSteamer - 02-09-2010 East Bound Mixed Freight - Dash 9 #9611 & #9648 Helpers SD40E's # 6312 & #6311 Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - LiveSteamer - 02-09-2010 In this train I seen what looked like to be a old hopper car. Don't know how old this is. Better view of Dash 9 #9648 Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - LiveSteamer - 02-10-2010 Here are two more views of the spreader from yesterday. Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - tomustang - 02-10-2010 Awesome shots Matt Today on the NS lehigh line Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - LiveSteamer - 02-10-2010 Great Shots Tom & Thank You. We are still getting hit with alot of snow as you will see in these three pictures below. Not one eastbound has been through here in the past 4-5 hours. Maintenance Crew here in lilly and a view looking west bound. Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - Charlie B - 02-10-2010 There used to be lots of railroad snow removal equipment in Cresson just for times like these. They even had a hopper with ice breakers on it to keep the tunnel roof free of ice. I haven't seen the equipment there for years. Seems like railroad mentality hit once again. If you didn't use it yesterday then scrap it. Now we are coming back into the cold winter cycle once again and they don't have any equipment to handle the job. Charlie Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - LiveSteamer - 02-10-2010 Hey Charlie. I remember seeing that hopper sitting there in the cresson yard when I was a kid. Still had it's PRR Markings on it if I remember correctly. They have the Jordan Spreader out and about. But right now it has a blown cyclinder and is being changed at this time.
