Back at the Ledge |
| Description: |
After a 16-year hiatus, we ventured back to the famous 'Ledge' just west of Horseshoe Curve via a hike up the embankment from Glen White Run. Shortly after, we were treated to a show: heavy NS 65J came west on Track 3 with 4 conventional EMD's, and was run around right in front of us by the faster 21G on Track 2, at 1:42 p.m. WOW. |

All is Quiet |
| Description: |
With no freight moving on New Years Day, all the helpers are tied down for the holiday. This pair of Juniata-rebuilt SD50's, now called SD40-E's, idles the evening away at the Cresson Engine House. |

Mountain Railroading |
| Description: |
Normally I don't put images like this on the web, but the sheer power of 2 SD40-E's, a GP38-2, and a high-hood SD40-2 all solidly locked in Run-8, while being blasted past by Dash-9's, was too awesome not to present here. Yup, this is mountain railroading, and I'll be back here again. |

NS 11K |
| Description: |
If I'd known that the first two trains I'd shoot when I went digital would be led by an SD40-2 and a GP38-2, consecutively, I'd have done it a while ago :-) Today's 11K is an Altoona-Conway job with a consist an EMD fan like me can appreciate! |

A freshly-outshopped NS SD40-E rides the turntable at the Juniata Locomotive Shop complex in Altoona, PA. This one was literally just out of the paint booth. |
