Got a heads up that the 8103 had just left Lehighton for Allentown. That didn't give me much time so I grabbed the video camera and shot over to Northampton, the tripod was already in the car. Not having the time to double check everything I wound up without the quick release plate to attach the camera to the tripod. I did have a suction mount in the car so I used that but it limited me to basically static shots.
It's amazing how fast news seems to travel in the railfan community. When I got to Northampton there at least 5 photographers near the old CNJ Siegfried Station. While the station is scenic the area is hemmed in by trees, shrubs and power lines. I opted to move somewhat south (eastbound by schedule) for my video.
