Shadows envelope the hillsides as SD80's lead empty coal hoppers down the South Fork Secondary.
NS southbound coal loaded with ex Conrail 80MACS south of South Fork.
Enpty coal hoppers, led by four SD80MACs and a C40-9W, are tied down on the South Fork Secondary awaiting a new crew.
C91 heads back to South Fork after getting service at the Cresson Engine facility.
Five SD80MACs heads west after being serviced at Cresson. I was hoping to get a photo of one of them, but was surprised to see five of them. (note the small icicles hang from the radiators)
14g heads toward Wyomissing Jct & then south toward Philadelphia @ 12:20pm
Last week I photographed these units on a bridge across the Allegheny River. Today they're on the OC Bridge, high above the Ohio River.
Big MACs on a big bridge! The head end pulls the first cut of Shelocta coal up to the B&P main.
With two big MACs on the front, and these two on the rear, this Shelocta coal train gets moving with very little effort.
Blue Matched Pair - NS7212 Leading NS7211 Eastbound
A matched pair of blue SD80MACs smoke it up as they exit Black Rock Tunnel.
