A variety of terrains, towns, and scenery is at the doorstep of the NS Harrisburg Line. Whether in down town Harrisburg, or next to a farm, this video features some great train action in several different locations. 4-12-09 33A, with some typical yard power mixed in, in farm country. NS SD70M 2638 NS D9-40CW 9664 NS GP38-2 5324 NS MP15DC 2353 4-13-09 Bouncing it's way over almost a dozen crossings, 21M, with lots of power, heads through the city of Lebanon; the Wall / 872W-871W signals can be seen to the west. NS SD70 2528 NS D9-40CW 9873 NS D9-40CW 9257 NS D9-40CW 9872 NS SD70M-2 2762 NS SD70M-2 2724 Shortly behind is H33 with nothing but Conrail... the lead unit seems to bottom-out over one of the crossings, what a nice ride! NS GP40-2 3048 "CRQ" NS GP40-2 3061 "CRQ" 4-13-09 A 22V stacker from Harrisburg heading through rural territory on it's way to the NJ/NY coast. NS SD70M-2 2771 NS SD70M-2 2773 4-13-09 19G takes a meet for a 33A to cross one to two. Both have some nice engines. 33A NS D9-40CW 9372 NS SD70M-2 2664 NS SD40-2 6194 NS RPU-6 863 NS GP38-2 5223 NS GP38-2 5260 NS GP38-2 5611 19G NS SD70 2526 NS D9-40CW 9157 4-13-09 16T has some sweet power! NS SD60 6684 NS SD60 6586 NS D9-40CW 9821 4-14-09 Loaded autos head by Chocolate town, USA, two nice exConrail engines. NS D8-40CW 8327 NS SD60I 6742 "CRQ" 4-14-09 A train who's ID I do not know, but I think came off of the Paxton Industrial track, heads through the Capitol's down town. NS GP38-2 5000 NS SW1500 2223 A short time later am I0G stack train pulls out of the terminal. NS D8-40CW 8461 "LMS" NS D9-40CW 9061 A few more minute later, HH27 takes chassis racks from Harrisburg Terminal, where they are destined across town at Rutherford Intermodal Yard. NS GP50 7066 I saw several other trains in Harrisburg, it's typical to see 3-5 an hour there, with about 70-75 movements daily. I didn't add those trains since: A. The video was long enough, and B. They had D9-40CW's or ES40DC's. And just on a tourist note: the capitol building is literally within 1,000 feet south of Harrisburg interlocking.
