| Railfan Pictures of the Week - 4/06/2025 |
| August 18 2024 was a Sunday, and everyone knows that no freight moves on Sunday mornings in Lansdale. Well, everyone except CSX. An extra U042 was called to bring the outbounds back to Woodbourne, usually a Friday night/Saturday morning run which was missed for some reason. |
 |
| Even more interesting was that because of ongoing track work, PN left the outbounds just north of Unionville Pike. |
 |
| After they coupled up and did a brake test, the engineer pulled the trail down past Hatfield train station, the conductor hung the marker on the hind end, then the train shoved back to Unionville Pike to pick the conductor up before heading down to Dale. |

 |
| At 12:30 SEPTA gave them the signal at Dale for the run to Woodbourne. |
 |
| While the conductor walked to the head end, SEPTA let the inbound Silverliner IV train out of Lansdale, running Track 2 to Gwynedd. Just another Sunday. |
