Chasing 34M in Pottstown and West Laurel34m was the first train I saw in Pottstown this morning. Then caught it again at West Laurel. I like this spot, trains are a little slower and the heads up on the radio is a little more consistent through town. (VIDEO of 34M at West Laurel) |

H48 on the Turkey Path and on the main coming back from AbramsThe usual run out through Birdsboro provided a pleasant surprise in the form of SD-60's working. One in Conrail blue. (VIDEO OF H48 at CP BIRD) |

More West laurelWest Laurel was a gem of a find. Between the great access and slow speeds. NS9300 led the 19G . Then NS3100 brought the H33 west through West Laurel. This is the same engine I shot a couple weeks back working the Stowe yard. (34M came east in the middle of this) |

CP-BIRD on the way homeI have been trying to shoot some traffic at CP-BIRD recently. I needed a new shot tired of the same old shot from Pottstown. I want something where you don't feel as though the train is right on top of you. Caught the 38G eastbound led by NS 2502. (VIDEO OF 38G) |

Scouting a new spotChecked a spot in Birdsboro for a new shot, no trains. I didn't hang out real long. I didn't want to be in the line of fire. |

Familiar spaces in Douglassville and PottstownIt was getting to be time to go home and make dinner, so I headed east. I heard 39G coming west and stopped at the Douglassville Hotel. Nothing too exciting NS2716 leading. When I got into Pottstown heard the 937 coming west. Looked like a move of MOW flat cars with some strange contraption on the first car. |
