I was out in Nazareth, PA today,. taking care of business, and around 1pm the NS local freight came thru with 2 geeps and about 15 cars, and since
this line is so cool and off the beaten path, the chase was on. Plan was to find future photo locations, and to try top figure out this
mess of tracks.
We saw them work the lumber yard west of stockerton, that's actually on a small piece of the old DL&W, and we were able to figure out
that most of the active track is ex-LNE.
Looks like there are still about a dozen active customers between Bethlehem and Uhlers, and lots of great photo possibilities.
Questions?
What is the NS ID for this local. H??
I thought this job was nocturnal, so I was surprised to see it thru Nazareth at 1pm.
Does anyone know when it usually leaves Bethlehem these days?
Does it usually make it back to Bethlehem in one day, or do they tie down along the line somewhere, on alternate days?
TIA.
