A good 60 to 70. When I was up there on this day, I never had to wait more than 15 to 20 minutes for a train, and if you have seen my other videos from this day, I caught A LOT of meets. From time to time there may be a dead time of 45 minutes to an hour, which is a great break to get food or go to the bathroom.
Thanks, I'll try to get here as often as possible. It is just on the other side of Harrisburg within an hour of me so it is not a problem. I'll definitely hit the west slope this summer to catch trains with helpers grinding up and down the Allegheny Mountains. And I'll stop over in South Fork, PA and catch videos of the SD80MAC's at work.
great video!!!!

Strange, Amtrak sounded like a speeding K5LA like usual, but the NS, sounded like K3LA..

Perfect timing! And what a meet too! I love hearing the horns battle it out, favouriting this.
