Excellent,,thanks ,great shots,Geoff,.UK
Beautiful video! Loving the ex. Conrail B23-7!
Thanks for sharing, awesome video! I recently built a model railroad depicting a fictional East Penn branch and I use a GE similar to this for power. I'm not from that area, so videos like this are a big source of inspiration!
That's a rather nostalgic image at 2:35 with the old Alco switcher put out to grass and the ghostly Coca-Cola legend on the wall on the right.

That building is an old trolley barn. I think it was the Liberty Bell Route of the Lehigh Valley Transit Company
Wow hope they get the old timer running again. Thanks for the info on it

Ver cool
'Love those early U-boats 👍
Just be careful down there by the Perkasie Tunnel. My dad ran a call with the Perkasie Fire Department after a local police officer tripped and broke his or her leg while running on or along side the tracks while in pursuit of someone. He and a couple of firefighters had to carry the officer out. My dad never allows me to go down there. But that was along time ago.

I never walked into the tunnel and Im not planning on walking into a active tunnel anytime soon, but that's definitely unfortunate to hear about the police officer

It occured outside the tunnel.
What a cute horn. "poop poop."
Do they ever use that old looking locomotive on the far left track at 3:08 into the video.

Not within the past 8 or so years. Its actually not owned by East Penn anymore. The Allentown and Auburn bought the locomotive and they have been slowly working on it to get it up to standards to transport it by rail to Topton Pa.
I looked up the FCC frequencies for ESPN and I only see 159.8625 Do they use any AAR channels ? thanks

I’m sorry if I’m being dumb, but is this a U boat? Idk if it’s just U series or if it’s U and B, also that RS3K is perfect.

Its a B23-7 so its not a U boat. Pretty much every GE that starts with "U" is considered a U boat. GE's that start with B are sometimes considered baby boats but its not referred to that as common
