NS 68Q Nice P3! Conrail SD50 + Yuppies and Helpers at Carney's

June 10, 2008: 68Q led up the 1.15% grade by NS SD50 5401 (Conrail Quality), UP AC4400CW 7118 and UP AC4400CW 5989 with trailing helpers NS SD40-2's 3351 and 3342 head tankers over Carney's Crossing and the 253.1 detector on the NS Pittsburgh Line near Lilly, PA. Great Nathan P3 on the leader!
I apologize for how shaky this video turned out, I was sitting back in a lawn chair and hit record, only to later realize I forgot to secure and tighten the plate my camera rests upon on my tripod... so 68Q shoooook the camera... Mike sir AliceinChains will get a good laugh out of this, but not to worry, I caught a billion 68Q's with similar or better power. :-P

I don't know, but at least it is a good P3 (not like the one on 6777 or 6803)!

Ahh, we gotta go railfanning sometime. My hg20 does this all the time, I hatte it! It's all warped and stuff, especially when I get a rare catch! I HATE it! Oh well, do you think it ruins the video?

Well, I'll say the shakieness in the video isnt that bad at all! Its quite hardly noticeable.. a little shakienss wont kill a good video as this

HA! There I am in the description and I never even knew this video existed! But yea, I caught a 69Q when I was up there that summer with the same lashup, not sure if it was the same units but...kickass either way.
