Bad karma or something |
| Description: |
I never seem to get to Lilly in decent light for eastbounds. It is always afternoon or overcast. So what else can one do but the best they can? NS 2713 East struggles up the grade on a late Octobers dusk. Time to head for Cresson for a cheesesteak at Vitos. |

Somewhat pure |
| Description: |
But for the shamefully cemented-in windows of former MG Block Station, the missing old No.1 track and the rearing horse rather than keystone, this might still be a Pennsy scene at one of very few remaining locations retaining an original PRR appearance. |

Autumn Serenade |
| Description: |
Ahhh, the exquisite pleasure of hearing locomotives smoothly assaulting the grade amidst the piquant air and eye-candy surroundings of autumn foliage. A helper set is coupled ahead of the lone road unit to snap a hopper train up the grade. |

NS 2753 |
| Description: |
Its not as busy as in CR days and previously, but the old PRR route through Pennsylvania still holds an attraction. NS 2753 brings an eastbound double-stack train through Huntingdon, PA on an October morn, past the silent block station that once housed both a US&S Model 14 interlocking machine for the "home" plant and a US&S CTC panel for remote interlockings at Deer and Pete. Block Operators had one of the best RR jobs that ever existed. |

11J |
| Description: |
If there is anything more exquisite than a mild autumn afternoon along the railroad, it must have something to do with women. I think they call this outfit 11J, anyhow it is a lot of empty auto racks behind NS 2764 at Horningford. |
