Philadelphia V6, August 2008

Formerly PBNE, now LVRB (Lehigh Valley Rail Management) #42 run back down the River tracks after dropping some intermodel cars

Working back down te river tracks is #39 and leading it #42, both are now Lehigh Valley Rail Management, formerly PBNE switchers

NS 9928 leads 19G towards CP 88 and the yard at Allentown, a good mix of power including a couple of CR units today

3rd out on 19G is Ex Conrail 5291 still proudly wearing her CR colors

4th out on 19G is another fine Conrail classic, in the form of SD50 #5404, seen here at Bethlehem

21M passes CP 88 with a Catfish leading

21Ms 3rd unit is Horsehead dash-8 8348 complete with a white brow

last unit on NS 21M is GEVO #7512 at CP88 in Bethlehem

H74 passes CP 88 in Bethlehem after crossing the bridge from CP JU

High Hood GP38-2 5178 is H74s trailing unit in Bethlehem

Roadrailer power comes out of Allentown yard and parks up in the River tracks the train for these two will be 262

Z4J passes CP 88 with a pair of High hoods for power, these two units will be seen a few more times on this day as train H76

Horsehead Geep 5055 trails on NS Z4J, later on they will work H76

CP Gevo 8753 passes through the plant at CP88 heading to the River tracks with train 38T, we also heard him call himself "The Daylight Changer"

Dual-flagged CP 9547 trails a GEVO on 38T also called "The Daylight Changer"

"The Daylight Changer" job heads back over the river from CP 88 to CP JU and then reverse onto the Freemansburg track and tie-down

36G glides past us in bethlehem with a worn looking SD70 leading

Trailing unit on 36G is in the form of NS 8723, almost as battered looking as the SD70 leading

M9G, a second section to 19G chugs by in Bethlehem with NS 8749 leading

An unusual load is seen by the hump in Allentown yard

One of Allentowns hump sets is seen drawing off the hump with RPU6 #863

NS 6184 complete with yard stripes is seen at the Hump with RPU6 #863

NS 38G sits in the yard at Abrams with NS 9064 leading

3rd out on NS 38G is Conrail Quality 8450

Trailing the big NS units on 38G at Abrams is BDRV 9581 after having wheel work done

A broadside view of BDRV 9581 as it idles on 38G at Abrams yard

A view of the long hood of SD9m 9581, as it sits at Abrams on 38G

W827 storms past the Septa station at Woodbourne with a pair of Beansniffs trailing a CSX GEVO

In full H3 colors BNSF 8106 is 2nd out on W827 an empty military move on CSXs Trentonline at Woodbourne

The long hood of BNSF SD60 # 8106, it was 2nd out on a Fort Drum bound W827 military move

Another Gevo on CSXs Trentonline, but this time its a nice looking BNSF unit trailing on W827, a Fort Drum destined empty military move

CSX 5310 leads Q702 East through Woodbourne with lots of empty Garbage (you can include the units in that comment!!!!)

With evidence of some sort of fire on the side CSX 34 helps with Q702 eastbound through Woodbourne

Unusual power for Q301 is in the form of ACe #4832 leading a sister 70AC West at Woodbourne in the last of the days daylight

Trailing her big (ACe) sister on Q301 is CSX 4707 seen here at Woodbourne

Any regular shot was now out of the question, so I attempted (poorly) to pan with the units, 5425 leads Q174 by Woodbourne

The light was by now too bad for a shot without panning with the units, a poor attempt, but practice is what it takes, this was Q409 thundering westbound at Woodbourne

Another attempt at sublight conditions, the cab of CSX 8520 "blurs" by at woodbourne, need to work on holding my camera straight too!!!!

With any chances of decent shots gone due to fading light a half botched pan shot of the second to last car on Q409 reveals MCVX 1702, part of the MA volunteer firefighters training train, it appears to be an Ex NJT car
