**WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY!** The West Slope of Norfolk Southerns Pittsburgh Line was abundant in peak fall color during Columbus Day weekend of 10/11-10/13. The railroad was just as abundant in rail traffic as it was in beautiful color, as this Y34 PPLX coal drag (extra section of loaded drag 534) heads east up the No. 1 Track under the classic Pennsy signal bridge at MP 254.7 with a helper ahead and behind. Power for the Y34 consisted of a trio of 3,800 HP EMD SD60Is, #s 6734, 6731 (both still in CR Blue livery) and 6721. The 6731 appears to not be operating, it doesnt SOUND like it is anyway. But the notched up throttle of both sets of SD40-2s on both ends of the drag more than make up for the loss of power. Footage shot on 10/12/08 at MP 254.7 on Norfolk Southerns Pittsburgh Line at Lilly, PA.
