QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!


Will the two E8s be coupled together, and if so, which end of the train
will they be on?

UPON ARRIVAL IN HARRISBURG UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS THE LOCOMOTIVES WILL BE
SEPARATED AND ONE WILL BE PLACED ON EACH END OF THE TRAIN.


Will they run around the train in the Enola yards and at the Harrisburg
Amtrak station, or will an NS diesel pull the train back?

NO


Or, will there be an E8 on each end of the train?

YES

Or, will the trains make a circle trip back to the station on the former
Lugan line connection,
the connection where Lemoyne Tower used to stand was removed many years
ago)

NO
>
Any information would be greatly appreciated. By finding out in advance
how the trains will operate, the opportunities to get photos will be
greatly increased.

ON THE DAYLIGHT RUN (SATURDAY PM) BACK TO PHILLY THE TRAIN WILL RUN WITH THE TWO E UNITS TOGETHER AT THE FRONT OF THE TRAIN THE THE JUNIATA EQUIPMENT AT THE REAR END, PROPERLY POINTED


MOST IMPORTANT....PLEASE DO NOT TRESPASS ON NS PROPERTY! THE WAY YOU CONDUCT YOURSELVES HAS A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP ON HOW NS VIEWS THESE ANOMOLIES TO THEIR REAL BUSINESS...A STUPID RAILFAN CAN PUT AN END TO ALL OF THIS. PLEASE TAKE YOUR TRASH WITH YOU AND BE SAFE IN ALL YOU DO. STAY OFF NS PROPERTY!
