Viewing Album:  October 2019 Trip to Pennsylvania
 
By:Jay Epstein
Dates:10/18/2019 - 10/19/2019
Album Info:In October 2019 I took a trip to Pennsylvania with the main goal of seeing the Delaware-Lackawanna and Reading and Northern 425 run along with some NS action. I spent Friday October 18th in Scranton to see the DL and mostly struck out as there was only switching going on, no road freights. The morning of Saturday the 19th I chased R&N 425 which was awesome and then I spent the afternoon on the NS Reading Line. That was pretty much a bust with only 2 trains between 1:30 PM and 6 PM. Even though the trip was mostly a bust I guess a day with few trains is better than any day at work or sitting around the apartment doing nothing!
