East Penn Dimensional Extra at Emmaus, PA 7/29/09

East Penn GP10 7554 is in charge of a high and wide extra on the Perkiomen Branch. This was the final leg of the movement, which spanned from the PPL power plant at Martins Creek, PA to a substation at Hockensack. In the first scene the 7554 is seen running lite to Emmaus Junction to pick up the load. The train is later seen a few blocks away with the engine pushing. A hi-rail vehicle proceeded the movement to check clearances.

Was a very rare move. Last transformer moved on the line was way back in 1982.
