Railfan Pictures of the Week - 10/12/2014


NS Harrisburg Line Abrams Yard and Bridgeport PA September 18 2014
 
A call from Mainline to clear the main and the ballast cleaner working between Norris and Phoenix hustles down through Abrams looking to clear up at Norris.
Why the hurry? Because the geometry train is coming through, led by NS C44-9W 9543.
In the middle was Research Car NS 38, aka "The Brick".
On the hind end was Research Car NS 36.
Just a quick stop at Abrams for the 906 crew while they wait for the local K04 to run light from Swedeland to Norris, kicking up a bit of dust from the recently dropped ballast.
Same for 906 as it heads down to CP Rock just outside Philadelphia.
