Hey guys, While this isn't a question directly relating to a railroad in York (other than the ownership connection to Yorkrail), I'm hoping someone here can...
My recollection, and it's been a few years, is that I caught them coming out of Lehigh on a mid to late (weekday) afternoon. 3-ish maybe? ... From: Robert...
Thanks for the info - my sources (my wife) told me she's been seeing the Woodsboro stone run in the mornings around 9AM, so maybe they do that run first then...
Hi all Since I've been in Pennsylvania, I've tried railfanning in various areas in and around York. I've gone as far north as Enola yard/Rockville bridge (I...
Pete: This line is used as a connection from Enola to Perryville and the NEC. Amtrak only allows NS trains on the NEC at night, so the majority of traffic is...
Thanks Jeff  Just wondering also, since I like to photograph fast passenger trains, if it's okay to sit at one of the stations along the NEC and shoot...
Hello Pete, It's been a year or two since I've tried, but I had absolutely no problem taking pictures at the Odenton station along the NEC. I used to go down...
Found this on ebay and it is already over my budget for one...... Does it look like an accurate one, as I have leaerned about some being forged for other...
It certainly is legit but this one has some major problems. It looks like it was electrified at some time in the past with the holes drilled in the bottom and...
I'm wondering how this might affect either of the two rail lines that sandwich the site. Ohio Blenders also has an old (truckless) Ma&Pa boxcar used for...
... The last drawings that I saw of the "plan" for the Northwest Triangle Project calls for one of the lines to be removed, and the other track to be realigned...

It's been since October '08 when colorful power last worked the 510 / 511 coal trains from Shire Oaks to the Glatfelter paper mill.  This weekend we are...
After seeing several HUGE piles of ties, both new and used, in the Glenville PA area on the CSX 'Dutch line', a little research was in order. I came up with...
FYI for those of interest Up for auction is a lanter globe made for the Northern Central Rarilroad. Deep ruby red color. Globe is in great condition with only...
Did anyone check out the aerial photos on http://www.pennpilot.psu.edu/ around the York station in 1937? There are about 100 cars at the freight sheds! You can...
My friend Oscar Bupp sent this site to me. It is like listening to a scanner. I enjoy it very much, and I hope you do too. If you find a way to get even...
