NBER 1603 |
| Description: |
The train rockets west through Port Matilda. The building to the left houses the post office, and I would bet that the PRR once had a siding that delivered here judging by the ramp off the building, the space between the tracks and the building, and how the buildings outward appearance looks. |

NBER 1603 |
| Description: |
As mentioned in the description of this album, I had about a weeks worth of vacation from work to kill, so I decided to take a week of train fun out in Pennsylvania during peak Autumn Color. The first railroad on the agenda was the Nittany and Bald Eagle Railroad, a Class 3 Railroad owned by North Shore that operates out of Milesburg, PA to Tyrone, PA. NBER4 would be the job that I intended on chasing, which is the job that runs to the NS interchange in Tyrone and return. The crew for NBER4 goes on duty well before the sun rises in the Fall, so I was a bit worried that they would get out of town before it even got light outside. But thankfully, the sun had risen before I heard any sign of the train both outside and on the scanner. Bellefonte hosts a defunct PRR Signal Bridge with the classic PL Heads attached just outside of yard limits, so that is where I set up shop first. Powering todays train was NBER 1603, a corporate painted GP8 followed by a pair of North Shore "Erie Lackawanna" inspired GP38-2s. From what I have heard, getting one of the corporate painted NBER units leading trains is quite rare, which excited me even more. After some more miscellaneous switching, the train was ready to head to Tyrone. Despite being OOS, Ive never shot a train underneath a PL Signal Bridge before. The start to what I hoped to be a successful chase! |

The train slowly comes into Tyrone. I was going to grab the train street running, but I thought the mountains were too colorful in this spot to pass up. Guess Id grab it on the way back. |
