Title:  NS 9308 leads an eastbound manifest freight around the sweeping curve at Monocacy, PA
Description:  A lucky catch for me - I stopped at the grade crossing in Monocacy to see if there were any prospects, and I immediately heard diesels to the west bearing down on me, but still around the curve. So I didn't have to wait long at all.

Unexpected catch: I took a quick detour in Pottsville to see what I could find on the old Reading Company Main line, and found this oil train awaiting a re-crew, led by the Nickel Plate heritage unit.
