Freight Trains Large and Small at Wyomissing Junction- June 18, 2010

Four trains are seen passing through wyomissing junction on june 18, 2010, two with freight consists several miles long. Also included are a local with a conrail working hard and an intermodal not usually seen.
Hotshot intermodal train 21M is first, with a trio of dash 9s roaring along pulling a monster 2-mile train that includes both domestic and ocean-going containers and trailers.
