The engineer of Norfolk Southern EMD SW1500 No. 2217 has his engine's control console strapped to his belt. This example of remote control locomotive operation is becoming more and more the standard in America's major rail yards. This example is at Enola, Pennsylvania. Enola was a historic Pennsylvania Railroad classification yard since 1905. Under Norfolk Southern management since 1999, Enola's tracks parallel the Susquehanna River's west bank just south of the Rockville bridge. NS has significantly increased the yard's capacity from it's downgraded condition under Conrail.
