At Duncannon, Pa. an SD60 heads a Westbounder. This was a nice location
to shoot afternoon shots. You are facing a little Southeast here so morning is
not so good.

Duncannon, Pa. a CR Dash-8 drags a TV train West on 6/8/00. We are at the
old train station, which is now a cable TV place. We have railfanned here for
quite sometime; but now they have NO TRESPASSING
signs
up. The signs are a little hard to see because they are high on a pole, but they
are there.

An NS Dash-8 heads a Westbound TV train. One can catch a glimpse of the
Susquehanna River in the background. Views are better in early Spring when there
are fewer leave. July 8, 2000 was a beautiful day for July in the East, warm,
sunny and low humidity. One would think he was in Colorado.
|
At Cove, Pa. on March 29, 2006 we caught this lash up with BNSF. Lots of foreign power running now days.
|
Again at Cove, Pa. on March 29, 2006 we caught have a west bounder with a BNSF. These will show up at Cresson in a few hours.
|
East bound at Cove, Pa. on March 29, 2006 This lash up included an SP that had the number painted out with armor yellow and UP on it.
|
At Cove, Pa. is a good spot to watch trains. Shooting video is tough
because of all the highway noise. This LMS headed train is moving East.
|
Another Eastbounder at Cove. There is plenty of parking here and you
can get good photos without trespassing. For some reason, some railfans insist
on parking as close to the tracks as possible. That sometimes makes it difficult
to get the shot you want.
|
A Westbound mixed freight is lead by a CR SD60. The track runs E-W
here and your back is South when taking photos. We were informed we had just
missed the NS business train when we arrived at Cove. We had moved from
Duncannon when we noticed the No Trespassing signs. Had we stayed there 10
minutes more,
a photo of the business train would be here too. Too bad for us, timing is
everything.

Rockville Bridge during the last weekend of CR. This is another
great spot to railfan. A very scenic area with a fair amount of traffic.
NS seems to be getting things unclogged so the trains roll a little
smoother now.

Rockville Bridge Another nice shot by Steve Fisher on the Harrisburg
side of the bridge again.
