Thank You. I did take a video yesterday of a set of helpers moving west. You can go to my page here and view it. It will eventually make it to the NS Cyclopedia website.

Double Stack moving East.
SD70M-2 #2719. SD60M #6764, & SD70-2 #2745

SD40-2's #3352 & 3348

Heard a detector call out at milepost 258.9 this morning and ran down to the tracks to catch two east bounds and a west bound. 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 )

East Bound Mixed Freight - Dash 9 #9611 & #9648

Helpers SD40E's # 6312 & #6311

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

Here are two more views of the spreader from yesterday.

Awesome shots Matt

Today on the NS lehigh line

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.

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.

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.

Same here by the allentown yard, I've seen some but they look like ornaments rotting away on the side line
