A little comparison shot I made. How different 10 years is...



These are not my pictures, they are from NERAIL.

I love this! Great spot for photos and you can notice just a slight change in camera quality. :lol:
Actually, it's such a difference that the one on the left looks like an old camera's image and the one on the right looks like I am seeing it in person.

Hello again! I finally manged to get out and take some pictures this weekend. It was a bitterly cold, but very sunny afternoon.
This one is my favorite. You can see the heat and energy radiating way in front of the lead engine. This guy was moving fast!

Hello Everyone! Thanks, Trent...glad we can provide the pictures. :) The cold weather has brought me back inside, so I drove the Senator from Harrisburg to DC last night. Then I remembered all of the photos that I haven't posted yet.

BNSF 9718 at Enola.

CN-5681 at Enola.

I like this little yard helper that arrived last winter. I like the former UP paint with the red and white striped nose. CEFX 2814.

Old Conrail 5299 at Enola.

CEFX 6008 former SOO.

NS-9481 parked in Lemoyne underneath the old abandoned Cumberland Valley RR bridge.

CR6718-6723 (in excellent shape) switching track at the end of Enola Yard. West Fairview.

NS train flying through New Cumberland along the Susquehanna.

Hello everyone! I have not visited in a long time, but I still like to ride the PRR tracks on the PC every once in a while. (Thanks to you guys!) I hope everyone is doing well!
I just wanted to share this photo, which I think is one of my best catches ever. The Monogahela RR NS Heritage Unit stopped near Dauphin Boro, PA...just north of Harrisburg. :D

Here is the full size wide shot for your enjoyment.
