Sat -

Went down to the Harrisburg area.   Foggy and socked it.  Was at Overview for a half hour watching various trains move in and out of the yard and some swithers moving around.  Left, but planned to come back the next day after visiting a friend.  Well it turns out I did not stay cause they did not have power since thurs night and they were told tuesday was when the power was gonna be turned on.  They had to toss all off the food in the fridge. 

Sun - 
Passed Pittson Junction.  Several R&N units in older schemes - no SD-50's. 
Coal Train - Gauntlet -
Case of being in the right place at the right time - was out on the mountain bike and just guessed that around 4:00 sometimes a train comes.
Stopped at the old Laurel Line bridge abutment and was there for no more than 5 minuites when I heard a low rumbling to the south.  I took my camcorder of out of the bag and deployed the mini-tripod.  Got the video rolling to capture 3 six axle NS units crawaling across the bridge with a coal train in tow.  Shot a 35 mm camera until I was out of film.   Pushers was a Soo and a Cp unit.  Nice train.
