Norfolk Southern 522 chase LeBoeuf Pa.

NS 522 rolls alongside the French creek and through a bucolic scene at MP76.3. This is on the Western New York and Pennsylvania railroad's former ERIE railroad mainline. The train is traveling east on the origional mainline, which became the westbound main after 1910 era improvements on the ERIE. Conrail tore up the old eastbound main, which was a nice,solid .3 percent climb from Cambridge Springs to union city, so now eastbound loaded trains out of the monongahela valley bound for central new york state power plants must climb grades of up to .86 percent eastbound on the westbound main. Power on this train is a former Conrail C40-8W (with its Conrail air horn) a NS C40-9W and a Union Pacific C40-8W, all three GE locomotives were manufactured not far away in Erie pa. at General Electric.

Dang, for a Dash 9 locomotive that horn sure doesn't sound like a K5LA. But great video none the less!

Wow, i used to live there in Union City,Pa. Used to love seeing the RDC's that are now run out in Corey? Maybe they are only running one of them, still they used to come into Erie on the now A&P former Erie division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. I guess they decided not to do much in the way of Passenger runs after the late 90's. Still, i tis wonderful to see that there is still plenty of Freight Action out there in PA. Cool Video and great sound to!
