NS Pittsburgh Line
A Couple of Chases During the August 2008 CRHS Rail-B-Q

CRHS Rail-B-Q May 2008
I was back in Harrisburg a second time in May, this time during the CRHS Rail-B-Q. In 2008, we still saw lots of Conrail stuff too, making it an even better time.

August 2006 NS Pittsburgh Line Trip
I took one of my first trips to the NS Pittsburgh Line back in 2006. I’d become much more familiar with it more recently, but back then, it was still common to catch Conrail painted power, making it a much more exciting time.
