Spring has finally arrived, and beatiful weather as well in these late-April shots! Nothing beats perfect sun shots. (May was the rainy month, as you will see in some upcoming videos).

Just a minute after H33 backs into Reading Yard, 33A comes east with a howling GP38-2 online in slot 3! Man that sounds GOOD!

34A has a shocking load of all-standard cab power, and the only remaining SW1001 in the standard Conrail scheme.

213 (descripted wrong), passes some of the greatest farm scenery that borders the line, even with crummy power, this shot of this particular vantage is one of my favorites.
NS ES40DC 7576
NS D9-40CW 9547
NS D9-40CW 9611

924 just got finished laying ballast on my turf, of course I wasn't around at the time, so no footage of the dumpage. :(
However, 924 made a great sunset shot when it finally got moving, and look at all that dust, wow! (Oh, and that annoying crossing E-Bell, sorry =[ )

I don't have time to reply "Thank You" to all the comments, so I'll say it here: Thanks for watching these videos, especially if you can in HD.  It takes a lot of time to save / upload such large files (typically 700 MB - 1.3 GB), but I think it's worth it.  So thanks again!
