5/2/09: After the speed session at Cove, we moved up 3 miles west to Duncannon to catch more of the action at CP-CANNON. This is where the 3 track main from Enola goes back to double track, and stays that way for more than 100 miles before reaching Altoona, where the 3rd track joins the main again at ALTO. The interlocking is located on the stone bridge itself, which the PRR built to move trains on its Pittsburgh Line west over the shallow Shermans Creek towards Pittsburgh back in the mid-1800s.

The best parts of this fanning session were the parts not caught on camerawe gave a few crews QUITE a show! 

All of this was shot between 11:20AM and 12:00PMnot too shabby right?
