These were the days of manned helpers that waited in Hyndman, PA. to push a manifest over the grade, and then return back down to wait for the next one. I grew up in the area and walked through Falls Cut tunnel quite a few times to get to the swimming hole.

That’s E.E. Brown talking on radio to Yardmaster E. Wolfe. At Eastside yard. I remember all those Seaboard GE units. The blue smoke just blowing right on you in the yard at the 33 end. Especially in the winter. I had a nickname for them. Smudge Pots.

Thanks for the correction. I was told by the operator at RG Tower that CSX could not run on the NE Corridor without cab signals. Thanks for watching the video.

Love the sound of those 567's! I got very intimate with these GP's while doing the rebuild on them in Livingston, MT at LRC. We had the nose chopped, rewired and recabled, generators and diesels rebuilt and repainted. It was in Jan '92 we did the first one. Fun job with these!

Thank you for posting this, I'm greatful! I conducted on this trip with Don Colangelo running. The gentleman in the plaid shirt in the one shot just after leaving Pocopson is my father. This may be the only video of him and I on an engine, and what a loco to be on. Thank you again, this brings back great memories of a time when I really enjoyed working for the railroad. Still at it almost 30 years later.

Thanks for the comment. Don't know if you remember but we worked together at Mitchells for several years. My name is Bob Bastian. I was part of the NRHS Lancaster Chapter that restored 902 & 903. I always wondered who the gentleman in the plaid shirt was. Do you still work for the railroad?

@babyhars93 Жыл бұрын
Actually RF&P locomotives were a daily occurrence at Eastside yard. They always led the "orange Blossom special" trains R171 & R191 as they had cab signals which were required on their trip from Philly to New Jersey. Several of my videos show RF&P units in action on the CSX..
