  • Just a quickie I'm uploading. Also tomorrow is my 8th anniversary on CZcams so yay go me! I'll be in Duncannon this weekend so this is the best I can do to celebrate for now :/
    I was originally planning to catch the 2 oil trains (64T and 66E which had a BNSF) and possibly 39G at Valley Forge. Something told me one could tie down at Pottstown so I hurried along to Pottstown station just in case that'd happen. Turned out both were heading to Falls yard in Philly after all but I got H49 going home back to Reading as a bonus and since I don't see that local often it was a nice surprise to see it even if it was just 2 GP38-2s with a boxcar in between. After 39G came and went knowing 38G and any other traffic wouldn't be due for several hours after dark I headed back home. Enjoy!

      Their duel continued in the 60s when PRR became PC but Reading kept their identity. However neither side came out victorious when PC went bankrupt in 76 and Reading was drafted into creating CR with the former NE roads bringing PC's remnants with them.

      @@Ih8kone Somewhat but no. "Although the PC was put into bankruptcy, its parent Penn Central Company was able to survive" The company held on but Hurricane Agnes was a huge blow (literally) in 1972. The government couldn't save them and then Conrail slurped em up in 76. Almost all of their passenger service including the NEC and Keystone also fell into Amtrak's hands in 71.
