It is comforting to know that there are countries committed to its railway history that enable these formations run with all the splendor of bygone years. Thanks for sharing
If someone asked me if there was a locomotive I would want this would be it! So beautiful! The PRR has a very elegant colors that makes it stand out. Very classy but a modern executive feel to it. Even next to the NS it doesn't look like it has aged a bit. I've always have a spot in my heart for the E7's. Love the ditch lights that they added to it like icing on a cake. A touch of modernization to a old legend and a testament of the E7's. I wish I can see it in person.
As kids, my brothers and I would regularly head down to the Main Line (between Philly and Harrisburg) early on Saturday mornings to see the mail train pulled by E8’s. I’ll never forget that-
Great video- Loved the 'mini Broadwway' on the move (despite being on a former Reading RR line). It's a pocket sttreamliner, but it runs like it used to be
It's obvious you went to a lot of trouble to chase this train around the Keystone State. You did a really magnificent super fantastic job. Way to go. Among the best quality rail fan productions ever. What kind of camera did you use? Thank you for the great effort.
o00o00ozy Not a problem, Eric! Hey ya can't control the weather, you did a bangin' job man! Everything that's good runs in tough conditions like 90% of the time lol.
+Dan Davis hey ,if anyone else wants to learn about how to apply for a railroad job try Debuncar Railroad Jobs Aid (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
JOHNRAIL& RACEFAN88 Thanks for the video. I was privileged to ride on an 18-car special from DC to Philly and back pulled by Mr. Levin's magnificent E-8's. The special train transported ambulatory military personnel from Walter Reed Army Hospital and Bethesda Naval Hospital. They were transported, fed and treated to the annual Army-Navy football game at Lincoln Financial Center Stadium in 2010. Hats off to Bennett Levin and all of the AAPRCO members who contributed their cars. Apostle Roscoe J. Dabney III Payson, Arizona
Read in Trains Magazine way back, that Amtrak liked the Es and approached EMD about building more of them. But, the carbody blueprint had been thrown away, so producing more Es was prohibitively expensive.
@@MBTAMoreRailfan nahh. Not even a competition. NS pretty much took 2 GP38s and put Cowl bodies on them. These are classic PRR power. Imagine these 2 chocolate engines pulling that chocolate colored OCS train. Talk about foam
I'm glad NS is always open to letting whatever kind of train run on their tracks, assuming they have all the right equipment & everything. News flash CSX, its called public relations, oh wait, they have the worst service in the railroad industry, so I guess that's out of the question.
Set-ups are nice AWAY from grade crossings. The horns get very annoying after awhile and they ALWAYS distort. Nice quality video! Very professional. Set ups down wind of the crossing a ways loose much if not all distortion. I do digital sound recording and the grade crossings off in the distance are much more appealing letting the sounds of the locos dominate when at source of recording. These are just my thots from years of doing this and are in no way meant to demean you wonderful videos.

These are absolutely gorgeous diesels but it's too bad about those anachronistic ditch lights. Historic equipment should be exempt from that requirement.
You know how sometimes when you flip a light switch, there may be a delay before the light turns on. This may possibly be the case here. The circuit or the bulbs may need to be looked at.
Eileen Maria wysocki train lady 15238 9399 train ' train safety ' Twitter Google " you tube NS operation lifesaver ! rail fans ' welcome to train safety ! watching four good videos ! one stands out on Pennsylvania rail road ! why I rode one in kinder garden back then in the 60s it was 40 round trip ' and also it was Pennsylvania railroad they sold this land these houses are on to blawnox steel in 1920 my dad came from Lawrence ville was on his dad "s shoulders ! watching these by the tracks being built it took three years ! he worked at blawnox steel 45 years ! like West he was a hard worker ! and correct me if I wrong but I think NS is and will always be the best railroad in Pittsburgh why they teach train safety ! fix tracks ! give signals ! you doing a beautiful job ! and railfans ride the tracks but never ever beat them !

No worries, you pose a legitimate question. I wish I had gotten more videos there when they had the old bells. Prescott, Myerstown, and Monocacy were all replaced around the same time in 2010.
