Fall Foliage on The Stourbridge Line

Honesdale, PA is known as the "Birthplace of American Railroading", home of the Stourbridge Lion, the first commercial steam locomotive to run on American rails. The town is also home to The Stourbridge Line, a 25-mile shortline railroad between Honesdale and Lackawaxen, PA. They run tourist excursions throughout the year, and in October of 2015, a weekday visit was made to see the "Lackawaxen Limited" running the length of the line in fall foliage. This was the first year the railroad ran in a few years, and it has been running faithfully ever since. Plus, the railroad operated with a rare EMD BL2 diesel, #54, formerly of the Bangor & Aroostook in Maine. Enjoy this look at the Fall Foliage on The Stourbridge Line!

It's very beautiful, I only wish I had more sun that day and better luck with road construction and traffic :)

whats with those box cars? is freight still run on this line? climbed inside that snow plow today for fun. great footage!

[@Bigjimvideo]

+Paul Rude Honestly I'm not sure. I think there is a continued effort to get freight service back along the line, but I don't know what the status of that is (or of the boxcars). Thanks!

Big Jim Video Productions Lol! But I do love this Video!!

[@AlfredHawthornBennyHill]

It's supposed to sound like that. It has two different horns. One for when it's facing forward and one when it's backwards.
