Thats awesome. I worked out of Benning, D.C., a former PRR yard, for a good portion of my short RR career, starting with CR and sending with CSXT. I also was fortunate enough to have spent time in Philadelphia, PRR was king of that city and I loved riding the high line *ahem* West Philadelphia Elevated... and the street trackage around the docks and intermodal ramps.
I don't want to clutter this thread, but for sake of staying on topic, the Circus train on extreme trains was parked in Benning, D.C. for a good portion of the footage. I was disappointed that no T&E service was covered this episode, I would have liked to see the handling of the circus train from an engineer's point of view, I imagine it is like a passenger train, except I never hauled passengers.
