here's my best shot from the day up at the Conrail BBQ.  big thanks to the CRHS for the fun and to Chris and his wife for playing host to the group (and congrats on your lovely daughter!).


here we see the ubiquitous NS Dash 9 working the intermodal yard in Harrisburg.  this was taken a train with a CR leader awaited service at the fuel rack about 1/3 mile to the west.  notice the FEC well car - Ed didn't!

Cool shot Steve.  (I'm a sucker for intermodal.)

BTW, N Scale Kits is coming out with a model of that FEC all-purpose well car, hopefully later this year.

Someone had a ladder to do this to an autorack:

My friend Ken came with me, bringing his 5 year old Alexander.  The boy has some potential as a railfan, I believe...

Had a ball.  And definitely, Thanks Kris for hosting again, and all the others who organized this great event.

Here are a few more.  After leaving and heading home I came across these.  Stuck my camera out my car window and just shot.  With the recent post on camp cars, I thought these interesting:
