Rail Fanning Conrail's Abrams Yard 1996 Part One

For every Sunday through 1996 - 2004 I went to Abrams yard with my railfan friends mostly with my friend John Woodland. that was a favorite railfan spot. so out of all my video I guess I have the most from there. Some days I had a tripod with me others I didn't uses one. but I most of the time do it free hand. I was using a Sharp 1260 VHS Camcorder.
Hope you enjoy.

Have you ever seen the D&H train stop in this yard? Or does it usually go right past it?

@Conrail6370 How long have you been shooting trains?

[Conrail6370]

elirosen1391 , well really Abrams yard is not part of the Morrisville line. Abrams is part of the Harrisburg Line. or Ex. Reading Company Main line. The morrisville line is the old Trenton cut off of the Ex. PRR also called the Dale Secairy.

@Conrail6370 I hope you can track them all down, and get the others organized.

elirosen1391, Yes, but I have no clue where they would be . I have close to 2000 tapes.

@Conrail6370 Do you have any videos taken along the Morrisville line in places other than the yard?
