Looking at the video, why didn't someone call the number that is on the post by the crossing and report the wires down?
Would have taken 2 minutes and would have saved utility crews days of rewiring (as well as a set of shorts for the people on the train)...

Caught a nice pic in my ‘Hood today of East Penn #1800 westbound just past the switch track. This one is coming from Wilmington, DE. Other tracks come from Oxford, PA.
To the left in the picture, you can see our old Pennsylvania Railroad trestle bridge over the Brandywine Creek. It ran to Wawa, PA.
Been abandoned since 1972.

Very picturesque. 
looks like two different types of engines.

Front one appears to be a low nose conversion of a GP7 or 9, or a GP18 or 20. Second is from a later generation.Very picturesque.

The railroads around my immediate area are typically small (10-40 cars) and move slow (10-15 Mph). They are really fun to watch wind through the woods and along the rivers. Very picturesque
