High Quality - Three SD40-2's, CSX 8867, 8801 and 8869, lead CSX B738 with 26 cars south on the CSX Bethlehem Branch at Eighth Street in Lansdale heading for the Stony Creek Branch on a rare daylight run down to South Philadelphia October 15 2009
SD40-2 8801 has SD35 trucks not the SD40-2 type use on other railroads.Conrail has traded alot of there SD35 units nad used the trucks for there SD40-2's,SD40's and SD50's
This branch actually used to be a bustling main line til the owner of it (SEPTA) let it fall into disrepair after it stopped running commuter trains on it.
this is not a line i would put six axles on thats for sure!!
