Spring has sprung along the CSX Trenton Line, and Penn Rail Videos made 3 visits to the Trenton Line during the month of April. Our first visit on Tuesday evening of April 20th, were we catch Q174 in North East Philadelphia, and then see Q439 passing through the defect detector in the last bit of light that evening. On April 23rd, after a visit to the New Hope & Ivyland RR, we made our way down to Woodbourne to catch Q438 leave Woodbourne yard; we'll watch as the two big locomotives roar underneath the US RT 1 overpass. We'll then catch one of SEPTA's Bombardier train-sets led by AEM-7 #2403. Our final day on the Trenton Line is on a dreary April 25th evening, where we'll catch Q417 with a pair of SD50-2s on the point, slowing to work Woodbourne yard. We'll then catch Q301 passing through the Woodbourne station, with a SEPTA train only seconds behind Q301. We hope that you enjoy this video and look forward to our next adventure to the CSX Trenton Line, where we'll take you trackside in Center City Philadelphia.
