2025 Memorial Day Long Wknd.Railfanning on the NS Pittsburgh Line, Day 1 - 2nd Half (5/24/2025)

Link to day 1 first half video:    • 2025 Memorial Day Long Wknd.Railfanning on...  

Continued from the first half video (link above)...

Once the action died down at the end of first half of day 1, I made my way to the Cassandra Railroad Overlook for a few hours as the action picked back up from a nearly two and a half hour gap. I got to see two two-way meets and even more cool, putting all the camera angles to use for some more simultaneous angles. I then stopped at Carneys Crossing in Lilly, PA where I had an extended stay due to the spot across from the Station Inn in Cresson, PA is blocked by an empty grain train that was exchanged from RJ Corman to NS (I did had to endure another long lull however). I wrapped the day back at the Tunnel Inn in Gallitzin, PA with a few trains as I bid farewell to day 1.

Day 2 action continues on the next video, and I am considering splitting the day 2 video into two halves as well.
