| Pennsylvania Northeastern Bethlehem Branch Hatfield and Lansdale PA October 6 2020 |
| As a result of a washout on the Stony Creek Branch, CSX C746 had to run the SEPTA Main Line to and from Lansdale for a week, which meant no high cars due to wire clearance issues. After the issue just west of Germantown Pike was addressed, on October 6 they made a daylight run up the SCB with about two dozen CryoTrans refrigerator cars. Here the quartet of SD40-2's is heading back to the yard, passing the Jet Plastica siding, after dropping the cars on the adjacent lease track. |
