Working rail roads and their tracks.

Thanks for posting Caver. The country side in the video looked soooo much like Wisconsin.

I got to keeping score of whether they blew "approaching crossing"* before at all or while they were crossing a road.

(*long, long, short, long-ish)

A beautiful ride I'd love to take, too.

I think my daughter and wife would enjoy that little ride.
Looks like fun.
These so many railroads in PA and probably more Inactive than active, buried under 50 years of brush growth.

Very good videos gentlemen. :thumbsup:
The bad railroad video was a real eye opener for me. I can’t believe how dilapidated some of our infrastructure is. Yeah I get it....can’t spend money on lines that arent making money. Just seems like such a tragic waste to let all that investment go to crap. :thumbdown:

Yes they still run regularly (at least before the 'rona shut everything down!):

Took a few pics while walking the East Penn Line on Sunday. My son went with me. Surprised me how interested he was in the old telegraph lines, switch tracks and how large those tank cars are up close!
We looked for artifacts and took a picture of one.
Nothing special, but thought Id share.
First one is of the Lenape Forge. Its an aluminum forge in my town. Rail siding is behind it. They dont use the siding anymore, but the Railroad parks cars on it sometimes. Rest of the pictures are downstream a few miles in my little town, Chadds Ford.
It’s a beautiful, historic and safe place to live.
