Railfan Trip 5-2-10 Part 1: Morrisville, PA and King of Prussia, PA

[srr7312]

Nice video! What time did the NS train in Morrisville arrive? I've been told before that on Sundays that local arrives around 10ish. I'm hoping to go back to Morrisville eventually.

@srr7312 Thanks! This train came to Pennsylvania Ave a little after 10:30. That's the time is usually come through. On rare events, it comes very early, but again, it's very rare to come earlier than 10:20-10:30.

[srr7312]

@boberttrain831 Cool thanks!

[boberttrain831]

@srr7312 No problem

Sweet K5LA horn action, man! Sorry Abrams didn't work out. Must not be as much traffic on Sundays. You should try again, because as long as you aren't standing on the ballast, you won't get yelled at. Thumbs up, a favorite, and a channel post.

[boberttrain831]

@87STEELE Thanks, man! Maybe, we'll see. Trips are kinda booked for the rest of the year.

was that a flare at 2:06? what is it used for?

[boberttrain831]

@w29bum Yes it was. The guy lights a flare and throws it onto the road so cars know not to cross. I myself think it's a little dangerous, but it's kinda funny to watch

[w29bum]

@boberttrain831 o ok i see now. well it was a great video Bobert!!! keep em coming

[boberttrain831]

@w29bum Thanks!

At least the crew sounded the horn... I've heard stories from a friend that if a car is parked on the tracks the crews just "move" it with the locomotive! Once ran one into a concrete wall near the tracks. Ah... NYC freight hauling. Excellent video, can't wait for part two.

[boberttrain831]

@Espee9180 Thanks! Yeah, YPMO-01 rarely blows the horn, let alone, 30 seconds of it. Of course, since they rarely blow it, I wasn't prepared when he blew the horn right next to me for Pennsylvania Ave. Made me jump a little.

[GenesisSanctuary]

@boberttrain831 It all depends on the engineer. Some will only blow the horn when necessary, while others blow the horn at every single road.

Great Video! I loved when the HHP-8 flew over the local freight!

[boberttrain831]

@BonesCentralRR Thanks! Yeah, that was a pretty cool shot. Best of both worlds.

[SuperStarRendon]

Great Video..

[boberttrain831]

@SuperStarRendon Thanks

[NSHammerhead]

Great video, man. I gotta get to morrisville or woodbourne next.

[boberttrain831]

@NSHammerhead Thanks! Yeah, they're pretty cool spots. Woodbourne has it's bad days, but late afternoon is best. I went to Woodbourne today, too. I'll have the vid up either tommorrow or Tuesday.

I really like this video, It's about time we got a new Geep in Morrisville.

[boberttrain831]

@trainutjob Thanks! 5287 has been on this train quite a few times before.

[trainutjob]

@boberttrain831 I haven't seen it, I guess it disapeared for a while and came back.

[boberttrain831]

@trainutjob I guess. They do swap power every now and then, but they always seem to have Geeps.

[ColinKundFilms]

Nice video! I love the sound of the GE "whoop" from the compressor.

[boberttrain831]

@ColinKundFilms Thanks! Yeah, it sounded pretty cool

[GenesisSanctuary]

Great job! Morrisville was awesome! Those 30 seconds of K5LA were amazing.

[boberttrain831]

@GenesisSanctuary Thanks, man! Yeah, we totally have to do this again sometime!

[GenesisSanctuary]

@boberttrain831 Absolutely!
