Norfolk Southern at Sinking Spring PA

Woodrow Avenue in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania USA is my favorite place for watching and photographing the Norfolk Southern Railroad. The tracks are the former Reading Company Lebanon Valley Line and the place is milepost 64.6.
This was my first video outing in 2009 and I could detect the effect of the economy on train traffic. The trains were shorter and there were fewer of them to watch. Note the high hood GP-38 and its distinctive horn leading the local job. In two days of visits to this spot I did not see any auto racks, although that's from a three hour daily sample. The Eastbound merchandise freight passing at approach medium speed was carrying a mix of ethanol tankers and steel, both in coil cars and as heavy plate in gondolas.
