"Daddy, why is that switcher hauling freight on the main line?" *Slowly pulls off badass sunglasses* "That's not a switcher son... She's a ROAD switcher. She was born for this."

Really a nice video of places no one else would ever film. I hit the subscribe button too!

The NS&SVRX...(breaths) that’s a mouth full

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

It's two separate lines, I know the title makes it seem like one but I didn't know a better way to say it without being wordy.

[@FDNY8231]

Very nice video Eric ... That's MY neck of the woods there ... I remember when the Reading Lines used to run MANY trains a day around there. Sadly those days are gone ...

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Thank you, it's good to see the tracks still in use.

[@georei]

The first Sunbury shot was in my old neighborhood. When did NSHR put up a signal on that part of the line? I tried to be a part of that railroad many times when I was younger, but with no luck. Nice video, and the quality was excellent.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Thanks for watching and commenting! That's a good question, we were surprised to see it there because there was an older signal there not long ago. They probably had to upgrade it to coincide with Norfolk Southern upgrading their signals.

Don't you love the sound of those "baby" 567 engines? Or maybe a "baby" 645? I love these little workhorses.

[@tomok8283]

Excellent video! I know Shamokin was both Reading and PENNSY. On the street running part of the line I guess that was the Reading. How much of this railroad was Erie Lackawanna?! 1946 looks fantastic in EL type livery! Before the Conrail takeover. EL had GP38-2s U23Bs and SW1500s as well as SW1000s on order! Now we know today what an SW1500 would've looked like in EL livery! AWESOME video!

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Thanks. The North Shore branch between Northumberland and Berwick was originally Delaware Lackawanna & Western. When it became EL I believe they extended trackage rights across the river into Sunbury.

[@tomok8283]

Central Penn Rail Productions Your welcome! Now that you mentioned it I do believe your right.

[@tomok8283]

PRR I1sa Yup. That area of Pennsylvania was at onetime a VERY busy railroad community! In the Reading book. It says in there that's as far West that the Reading went. Or as far away from Philly than any other Reading line! AND even with the Lackawanna as well. Though I may be wrong about the Lackawanna. Thank you for the railroad history of the Shamokin area.

[@tomok8283]

PRR I1sa Yes. Those indeed were the day's. Thank God you have Reading memories. As a young boy! Just as I have Erie Lackawanna memories growing up in Morris County N.J. with the Morristown line and Denville Junction like 4 miles from our house in Parsippany. At Denville Junction is also where the BOONTON LINE and the Morristown line met the mainline out to Scranton and of course Buffalo N.Y.. The READING was another favorite railroad too. Though I didn't get to see what was this magnificent railroad until after Conrail. My friends and I did get to see quite a bit of activity on various Reading lines with Reading power mixed with the other former railroads.

Nice vid!

Nice video!

Nice Catch

[@kirkzevola5004]

How often & what days does the North Shore Somokin Valley railroad operate between Bloomsburg & Northcumberland?

[@ReptilianLepton]

Just to clarify, the North Shore Railroad and the Shamokin Valley Railroad are distinct lines, albeit ones that mutually cooperate as subsidiaries of the North Shore Railroad Company. The company operates several other shortlines in the region. And I don't have an exact count, but as Danville area resident I'm pretty sure there's at least 1-2 trains in each direction most days on NSHR, but that can vary with the needs of local businesses.

[@kirkzevola5004]

Thanks do you know what days it passes Danville?

[@NEPATrains340]

@Reptilian Lepton I'm going to be in the Danville area today and I'm hoping to railfan the NSHR for the first time. Do you have any idea of what general time trains come by or any tips for catching them?

[@ElliottWolcott]

Nice video. What is your favorite football team?

[@nathancreel9866]

Awesome k3la

[@denault3985]

Stunning quality shooting by you and of course the 4k sharpness! Btw, what editing program are you using and are LUT's involved?

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

I use Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum for the time being. I may upgrade to something pro eventually. No LUTS are involved, that's still something I have to learn. What you see here is out of the camera + KZbin's compression haha.

[@denault3985]

You can try the Black Magic Davinci Resolve Beta 15 for free, looks close to release and it's free if you buy the camera. www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

That's interesting! I see the release date is sometime in Oct, I'm looking to make a purchase soon, before fall. I'm not really interested in a DSLR rig because of cost and limitations, although the biggest gain would be a micro 4/3 sensor. I'm waiting for the price to come down on the Panasonic AG-UX180, older model but still very robust. Just picked up a RODE Videomic X too and am really excited to get into XLR inputs...as the little brother (Stereo Videomic Pro) I have now is starting to give out and I'll have to replace the wiring.

[@denault3985]

Went with the Panasonic G9, only 8 bit/60fps with 10 minute segment recording. Can also be used as my second photograph camera photographing airplanes.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Very nice! Are you going to be posting any videos? It seems like Panasonic has taken the upper-hand to Sony-I was disappointed with Sony's latest releases / price points.

[@NorthEasternMotionProductions]

That's 3 switchers that I know of that have k3la's.
