Norfolk Southern H66: Allentown to Weatherly

Another weekend and yet another chase of Norfolk Southern H66 on the Upper Lehigh Line. This time we got to some new locations with different vantage points and some of the usual spots as well. The main highlight of this chase was the race between the H66 and the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway as they paralleled each other at CP Coal, as they continued north into the Lehigh River Gorge. This video also features the Lehigh Valley Rail Management operations in Bethlehem as they are met by westbound NS intermodal train 269.

Nice variety of catches! Nice scenery too!

Weatherly has a nice ex-LV station, too bad R&N can’t go there with an excursion train from Jim Thorpe. There’s also no direct switch access to NS at Old Penn Haven, a train would have to back up and pull forward onto NS.

We were at Pittston and had a great time

Is it rare to ride the R&N north of Jim Thorpe and see an NS freight along the way?

Like the H66 and the LGSR meet at Coal. Both had great timing.
