Norfolk Southern Locals H49 H31 and H48

A tribute to Harrisburg Line locals, H49 on 4/6/08 with NS GP38-2 5643 and NS High-Hood GP38-2 5125 on the rear. H49 crosses the "Amtrak" defect detector at MP 46.9. Then on 4/14/08 H31 heads west by MP 74 with NS High-Hood SD40-2 3294 (formerly Central of Georgia) and NS High-Hood GP38-2 5025 with a sizable local train. H31 also passes by a stopped 16T. In the same afternoon, H48 returns from placing a load of ballast cars in CP Dorf siding with NS Dash-8-40CW 8371, nice Leslie RS3L, and Conrail SD60 NS 6702, with also a nice Leslie RS3L, although my shot of H48 going east was ruined by the sun. :(

Eric, Your vids just keep getting better and better, great job on this one! We really should do the N.E. Corridor sometime. It's a blast! 5*!

[o00o00ozy]

Thanks!

I was actually thinking the Amtrak corridor between Philly and Harrisburg, there are lots of sceneric places along the line, especially in summer when the crops are beginning to rise.

Nice video.

I'm curious...why is that called the "Amtrak" detector?

[o00o00ozy]

Amtrak in this area uses detectors with that remote voice, this is the only one like this on NS in PA of that I know.
