Short Line at Work - Lancaster Northern

We start with a long telephoto shot from in front of the former Reading Company Sinking Spring Depot as we see Lancaster Northern's GE U23b #2204 round the curve to their junction with the NS main. The engineer pulls up to the grain mill at Woodrow Avenue and drops off the conductor to handle the switching. The engineer then backs up to clear Woodrow Ave. and wait for clearance from the NS Harrisburg East dispatcher. We move to Woodrow Ave. and watch as #2204, after receiving the dispatcher's highball, moves slowly onto the NS main, picks up the conductor and proceeds East to Reading Yard with their boxcar and two covered hoppers.
Lancaster Northern, part of the Pennsylvania Eastern group of short lines, is reported to be down to running two days a week from Stevens, PA to Reading. They serve a variety of feed mills, building supply yards, and a steel fabricator.
