Conrail #3026 on YPMO-R1: Morrisville, PA

On Sunday, August 29th, Robert's Rail Productions and TraniacProductions went over to Morrisville, Pennsylvania hoping to catch Conrail GP40-2 #3026 on YPMO-R1. It was in fact on the local that day. However, we pretty much missed them on the outbound trip to Staley with 3026 leading. I managed to grab one photo at Delmorr Ave, but thats all. We were pretty mad. However, we still got them trailing on the return trip behind NS GP38-2 #5269. First we catch them under the NEC Bridge. Due to the terrible lighting, we raced over to Pennsylvania Ave where we had perfect lighting and an idiot in an orange car inches away from getting hit. Lastly, we catch them at NJT Morrisville Yard....and of course, I accidently kicked my tripod. My fault, sorry about that.

I took many photos that day, including power in the NS Morrisville Yard and NJT. They may be viewed in this album: http://boberttrain.rrpicturearchives.net/archivethumbs.aspx?id=58859

@metraF40PH163 Yes, a very big idiot. Its weird on this line, some engineers blow the horn and others dont. In this case, I do think he should've blown the horn

[metraF40PH163]

Wow idiot driver! waht the heck is NS thinking not honking for that crossing/ close call? I would have blasted that horn at that car quite zone or not!
