CSX Q418-27's 5 engines, NS 17G with a SW1001, and SEPTA at Woodbourne, Pennsylvania pn 10/27/09

After I got off 4368, it was time for some railfanning at Woodbourne, and it was great:

SEPTA 4257 slows for a stop at Woodbourne with a pair of Ex PRR and Ex Reading Silverliner II's.

SEPTA Silverliner II's 254, 9007, 203 and 9003

SEPTA 6370 heads north to West Trenton with a trio of Silverliner IV's.

4:48 PM

SEPTA Train 4368's set runs south as Deadhead D369 to Temple University.

After working Woodbourne Yard, Q418-27's engines pull just past the crossing to wait to pull back to his train that is down the main.

Q418-27's power slowly nudges to the crossing to wait for the crossing signals to go down before moving south to their train. The crew is in 8830's cab, as the give a couple taps on 8830's horn as they coast by. The signals finally activate and the power heads south.

Out of nowhere, 17G heads west on the Morrisville Line with a smoking GE and a Switcher trailing!

Another great one!

The Septa runbys were the best yet!

Is there a yard near your location there?

To the untrained eye it appeared they were calling in for directions!

Thank you, and yes, the entrance to Woodbourne Yard is right next to the grade crossing on the south side.
