While traveling between Harrisburg and Altoona on May 22, 2019, we passed through Lewistown, PA, where the Juniata Valley Railroad interchanges with the Norfolk Southern. As luck would have it, we happened upon their headquarters just as a train was leaving to switch the local industrial park. So we decided to follow the train for a while.
The JV is a short line railroad in central Pennsylvania, part of the North Shore Railroad family. This was a good opportunity to see their switching operations up close and personal. They were using a classic SW9 locomotive (although it's been upgraded internally) that originally saw service on the New York Central (NYC). We saw them switch Greenbrier Rail Services and Trinity Plastics before we had to be on our way.
Something a little different for the channel, but I've had this footage for a long time and wanted to share it with people.

Awesome video, I haven’t done much with the North shore railroad, hope to change that in the near future. This video is a great take on switcher operations.

The whole operation would make a nice layout concept, I think.

It really is. We were very lucky to have arrived just at the right time. And even then, as I mentioned we missed them working the first stop.

Real life shunting puzzle 😄 "Prototypical" is becoming a bit of a dirty word overhere on the continent, some people swear by it, some to it. I don't get it, those two cars blocking the road, they could've been pushed over the road just as easily?
@ThePixelDepotLLC
@ThePixelDepotLLC 3 года назад
There must have been a good reason why they left the cars blocking the road. Whether is was to control the traffic flow or what, I don’t know.

Just speculating here, but looking at the track arrangement there in the satellite imagery shows a short straight segment crossing the road and then a fairly stiff curve just a short distance in from the road. I know when I worked for the railroad, trying to couple cars together in a curve was a PITA. We avoided it if possible. While those couplers do have some lateral movement, having them straight went a long way to getting a good hitch.

Interesting. The North Shore derives its heritage back to the early days of the DL&W, but yet all of its locomotives they utilize are not of EL parentage.
@ThePixelDepotLLC
@ThePixelDepotLLC 2 года назад
Typical of a short line company, though. They often take what they can get for reasonable money.

@@ThePixelDepotLLC I figured that of the approx. dozen-or-so locomotives' that there would be one could have lineage to the EL- saving the GP38-2s.
