It's been awhile since we've posted some content, so here is a compilation of the many cool trains we have seen so far in the year 2024. This footage was all shot on an iPhone 12 or iPhone 14.
March 2024 - We find ourselves at the Hudson Model Railroad Club in Plains, Pennsylvania. Having the benefit of being a club member, and the former Delaware & Hudson mainline right outside of the building, we were able to several Norfolk Southern freight trains from a unique vantage point of the second story window. It also helped that the leaves were off the trees, giving us a great view of the train action. The daily trains are usually the 10Z & 11Z respectively. 11Z generally comes south past the club in the mid afternoon, while the 10Z comes north usually in the early morning hours, however it does occasionally run a little behind schedule which it did on one of the many rainy days we had throughout the month of March.
January 2024 - We take a break from the freight action and go into the heart of the Big Apple at 125th Street in Harlem, New York City. Here we will see the unique GE P32DC diesel locomotives in action, including one of the 40th Anniversary Units that Metro North has recently painted. These locomotives usually switch from diesel to third-rail electric pickup or vice/versa here at Harlem 125th for the trip into Grand Central Terminal on the former New York Central.
April 2nd, 2024 - On one of the endless rainy days we had in this area for a good month or so, I suppose you could call this the "silver lining in the grey cloud". NJ Rail train 5445 had GP40-2PH #4106 on the head end of the train for some reason. It is not uncommon for a Geep to be tacked onto the hind end of this train for ride to Raritan, but here this CNJ Veteran was in the lead on home rails in Cranford, NJ.
April 27th, 2024 - The Reading & Northern passenger service from Pittston, PA to Jim Thorpe, PA comes past the pedestrian crossing at the White Haven diner in White Haven, PA.
May 10th, 2024 - We snuck in a clip of a UP West line Metra train from our recent trip to Chicago.
April 30th, 2024 - Mislabeled as May 5th, on Tuesday April 30th we catch NJ Rail train 1625 as it departs Secaucus Junction with the New Jersey Department of Transportation-painted GP40PH-2 #4101 in the lead.
April 5th, 2024 - Back to the doom and gloom of winter, NS Southbound train 11Z comes past the Hudson Model Railroad Club in Plains, PA with the 8114 in the lead, the "Original Norfolk Southern" heritage unit.
April 21st, 2024 - It's been a good couple weeks for 11Z with good power, and on this Sunday morning it was no different. NS 1067, the Reading heritage unit was trailing in the third position behind a leaser locomotive, making for a colorful lash-up on another grey early spring day.
May 2024 - Finally, two days of sunshine! NS 11Z on both May 2nd and 3rd both make their way past the former D&H Hudson Yard with regular NS Power in the lead.
