We are at the top of the Allentown Hump in Allentown, PA, where we see the hump power as it shoves cars into the classification yard so that they may be put onto their respective tracks and trains. The power today is NS SD40-2 6185 and RPU6 864. In the last frame, we see the hump power as it climbs the hump and descends into the bowl. In the background we see a light engine move consisting of BNSF SD70MAC 9718 in the Grinstein paint scheme, NS SD50 5441 still in Conrail Quality paint, and NS C40-9W 9298. Enjoy the sound of the squeal of the flanged wheels against the retarder, the rev of the turbocharged EMD 645 and 710 engines, as well as the colors of the light power move. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The videos were taken on March 14th, 2011.
