    Great shots!!

    BTW, there's a quarterly publication called The Railroad Press (Photograhper?), in which one of the R&N engineers, Mike Bednar, writes a column. One issue he wrote about working with SD45-2s on this very same line (no, they're long gone), as well as some U23Bs (which he had nothing but contempt for),

    He also writes about life working for the Lehigh Valley as well as the railroading scene in that part of Pennsylvania. Real good reading, from a railroader's point of view.

    Beautiful engine! Also interesting to see a couple of them have the company web site address applied.

    :D

    Great shots, Richard!

    When I was a kid, we used to visit my grandmother who lived in that part of Pa. I have not been up that way in 20+ years (since my grandmother died).

    They certainly do have some interesting locos (current and past). I saw a couple of their coal hoppers on an NS train recently.
