**WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY!** PM sweetlight is apparent in the Alleghenies, and after holding at CP-SO in South Fork due to 23W hitting an idiot near the Amtrak Station at MP 275, NS manifest 13G finally heads west down the remaining 7 miles of the 1% grade of the Pittsburgh Lines West Slope. By the time it called its signal at 268.2, the lighting was better than anyone could have asked for. A solid blue lashup of D8-40CW 8379 and SD60I 6780 in perfect sunset glint is a very hard image to beat, and more amazing is the fact that this image can still be a reality, almost a decade after the Conrail Split and infamous Day One. Footage shot on 10/11/08 at MP 268.2 on Norfolk Southerns Pittsburgh Line at Mineral Point, PA.
