I grew up in Huntingdon, and I can tell you that that old (HUNT) tower has seen a lot more action than you can imagine. In the days of the PRR, the mainline was 4-tracked, and it wasn't unusual for all 4 of them to have a looong freight on them at once. I saw as many as ten GP9s and GP7s lashed up on coal trains that seemed to go on forever. Early diesel and even steam pounded those rails day and night. Those were the days.
Great video, NS 36A always has tractors in the consist, those SD60is are fairly common on the PITL, you should upload your videos in 16:9 they woud look so much bette 5.5
obvious that this is before the storm lol that tower is beautiful 1:20 might use that prototype for the scratchbuilt station im building great stuff as always!!
wow dude, that ex-connie SD60I looked amazing, and damn, 13G was really really long. And i love that 23W. its stack, some spine cars, random stack car, more spine cars another random stack car, lol. All in all awesome video man. hey what type of camcorder do you use?
