| Railfan Pictures of the Week - 7/14/2024 |
| Living in Lansdale, I get to see CSX and PN trains in action frequently, but getting the third member of the Lansdale freight cluster is a little tougher. ESPN is based in Quakertown PA and catching them at the handoff in Telford takes a little bit of luck and timing, which happened on April 26 2024. Here GP9R ESPN 4621 comes south at Washington Street after dropping off the outbounds for PN. |
 |
| Today's pick up is a couple of lumber cars. ESPN 4621 arrived on the property back in 2021 and since the departure of B23-7 EPRY 3153 and SW1200 ESPN 37 last fall, it has been the sole engine on the line. |
 |
| ESPN 4621 took the two cars north to Meetinghouse Road picked up a few more cars. |
 |
 |
| After the pickup at Meetinghouse, the local continued north to Quakertown, passing a line of intermodal cars stored on the former Reading Bethlehem Branch southbound main between Telford and Perkasie. |
