On a muggy and wet Sunday in December, East Penn railroad gets a load of 40 Ethanol cars coming in at CSX's Wilsmere Yard that need to be hauled up north to Avondale. When we heard about this, cameras got charged and we head out. We first catch them initially pulling the 40 car train up the grade out of Elsmere with GP38-2 2173, GP18-M 1800, GP18M 1802, and GP38-2 2179 . At pocopson, they leave 20 cars as well as 2179 and 1800. Then we see them, struggle to get the 20 cars up out of Chadds Ford and continue towards Avondale.

Yea, it was dreary and fun following them up the W&N, then on the Octoraro branch on that day....only got him at Mendenhall, while you three got the other 4 locations. I was wondering why it took so long to get to Mendenhall...took them 3 tries! Nice video!

The siding just south of Chadds Ford Jct is good for 18 box cars, give or take a few feet. They usually use it now for CSX bound frieght for Wilsmere, usually the cars off the Octoraro branch. It might of been there since the reading days, since the original PRR/RDG connector was on the SW side of the old RDG/PRR diamond that use to be there.

LOL, you definitely must've been filming beside Conrail 19900. This is exactly the same as his "Battle to Avondale" film only from different angles. Good stuff!!!!!!!

That is true, but actually, there is another runaround just south of Chadds Ford Junction that was put there in either the 70s or 80s by the Octoraro Railway. However, that quickly proved ineffective as train got too long. I believe the runaround was only like 8 or 10 cars long.

14:00....17:00...you can hear the feathering of the throttle to avoid wheel slippage....maybe trying to lay said down on the wet rails on the hill and alittle slippage of the wheels on the second attempt.... It made the third attempt look normal...

They did. You saw it. But apparently, 2 couldn't pull 20 up a 1.7% grade.

Why did they drop off 20 cars at Pocopson? Also what is all that ethanol for at Pocopson and Avondale. Lastly nice video and good catch

Southeast Pennsylvania Railfanning At the time of this was shot, the sidings on the Octoraro Line would only be able to hold what they brought up to be used in Avondale.

Because it was grossly underpowered for the weight they were pulling. Those tank cars are deceptively heavy.
