CSX operates freight service on SEPTA's Bethlehem Branch from Philadelphia up to Telford, PA.  Here, CSX 6056 is switching Moyer feeds in Souderton, PA at the Reliance Road crossing.  The Telford/Souderton dividing line is just behind me.  The Greenhouse tavern (great hot wings!) right by the tracks, is actually in Telford.

CSX usually operates here with a locomotive at each end for ease of servicing the various industries along the line.  Here, the loco has grabbed some cars from the former Southbound main (now a storage track) and is caming across Reliance road, into the feed mill.  It's a tight fit, but the locomotive will fit in, after the engineer lowers the side sunshade.

I love the sound of the EMD diesels in this video.  One of those things that makes me a railfan.
