Trains Racing Side-By-Side on the NS Harrisburg Line

Two races on two seperate days, happenings like this are not uncommon on the Harrisburg Line due to the stack of unidirectional traffic at different times of the day.

3-15-09 at Richland we see hot trailers overtaking a freight.

(Again I apologize for the choppy look because I taped in interlaced mode rather than progressive)

Then on 3-21-09 (this time in progressive format thankfully)... 34A leads a soon-to-overtake 21M through the downtown rough-track of Lebanon, PA.
34A
NS SD60I 6750

NS GP40-2 3010
NS RP-E4 Slug 912 (one of two in existence)
NS GP40-2 3004

21M
NS D9-40CW 9884
NS SD60I 6757 "Conrail Quality"

Unfortunately I had to go to the "dark-side" for this shot to work out, but it didn't turn out bad at all.

Enjoy, and I'll try my best to catch some more of these during the day, it happens mostly at night.
