Railfan Pictures of the Week - 11/19/2006
| SEPTA Lansdale Station and CSX Lansdale Yard Lansdale PA November 16 2006 |
| Local law enforcement tactical response teams participated in drills on SEPTA equipment at Lansdale Station on November 16 2006. SEPTA provided a train that consisted of one of each of their current MU fleet: Silverliner IV married pair 392 and 393, Silverliner III 229 and Silverliner II 255. The train was parked on the runner at the station. They also staged a drill on a Route 96 bus that was laying over in Lansdale. |
 |
| So as not to alarm passersby, signs were placed on the station platform ... |
 |
| and at the grade crossing at Main Street. The outbound platform was used as a staging area. |
 |
| Those in charge requested that no pictures be taken of the teams during the drills, due to security reasons. This shot, not during a drill, shows a SEPTA employee demonstrating to the group (out of the picture) how to lower a pantograph. |
 |
| While they were at it, the teams were also given a short briefing on the diesel units that were in the freight yard. Pictured before the drill were SEPTA catenary inspection car OPS0152, CSX GP38-2 2746 and CSX SD40-2 8851. |
