May 27, 2014
0:00 - The train is headed west toward Harrisburg past a road crossing and modern signal bridge near Milepost 81. The train will then head south to North Carolina from Harrisburg.
June 3, 2014
0:55 - The train returns north on the Lurgan Branch just below Harrisburg, passing a rural scene near Milepost 13.
1:25 - Now on the Harrisburg Line, the beautifully restored PRR E8's pass yet another rural scene. I missed the sun here by seconds!
2:45 - Stopped at DORF interlocking, the PRR E8's wait on a hotshot intermodal train 21M to head west before crossing over onto the same track to continue east pass another train and track work. Although stopped in a fairly remote area, the train attracted a lot of attention from those passing by.
4:30 - The train is on the move at DORF. I finally got the train in sun, albeit high solar noon (just after 1 o'clock).
5:28 - I raced the train east to the lower Harrisburg Line at MP 47, just beating the train, although the rain was following, nevertheless, I thought it was a good shot to close on, after a long and tiring chase.
I wasn't too pleased with the overall shots, but sometimes you can't help the weather and the clouds when a special train like this runs, so you just have to try to make the most of it. I hope you enjoyed the video!

A blast from the past..A average PRR passenger train from the 60s minus the observation..Those E8/E9s was beautiful locomotives.Thanks for sharing.
They looked sharp with matching consist, a little bit nostalgic
Ahhh, why can't they still make passenger locos like this. They look stunning..

The way they made engines was very different, they would have to pay the employees a lot to learn to make them.

As a UK railfan I consider the E8 an iconic classic diesel loco. I am glad some units have been preserved in working order.
Bennett Levin's E8s are gorgeous. Long may they run.
It is comforting to know that there are countries committed to its railway history that enable these formations run with all the splendor of bygone years. Thanks for sharing
If someone asked me if there was a locomotive I would want this would be it! So beautiful! The PRR has a very elegant colors that makes it stand out. Very classy but a modern executive feel to it. Even next to the NS it doesn't look like it has aged a bit. I've always have a spot in my heart for the E7's. Love the ditch lights that they added to it like icing on a cake. A touch of modernization to a old legend and a testament of the E7's. I wish I can see it in person.

These aren’t E-7. They are E-8 or E-9
That is possibly the best sounding horn I ever heard

The two pairs of 12-567Bs would have sounded even better, had we been able to hear them over the incessant horn blowing.
Nice catch! It's great to see them without any modern equipment in the train.
Awesome video of these beautiful E8's, I wish he would run them to Pittsburgh again.

Love trains I'm going to be a train engineer when I grow up I love them
As kids, my brothers and I would regularly head down to the Main Line (between Philly and Harrisburg) early on Saturday mornings to see the mail train pulled by E8’s. I’ll never forget that-
Wow, I'm surprised how many shots you got considering how fast they were going! Excellent!
Pennsylvania railroad, always my favorite. Great video. 👍🏻
How I remember them. When I was very young rode behind one of those ( blue-B&O I believe) from Cincinnati to New Orleans -“The Hummingbird “
Fantastic video of classic Pennsy passenger E8s' and passenger cars! Thank you for sharing :-)
Great video- Loved the 'mini Broadwway' on the move (despite being on a former Reading RR line). It's a pocket sttreamliner, but it runs like it used to be
Fantastic footage of such a Iconic train..
Nice... I love that they have the old trainfone antennas and everything.
Sharp looking train set!!
as always, in my opinion, you're the best at rail videos.
Read in Trains Magazine way back, that Amtrak liked the Es and approached EMD about building more of them. But, the carbody blueprint had been thrown away, so producing more Es was prohibitively expensive.
One of the best horns I’ve heard. Fantastic video!!
It's obvious you went to a lot of trouble to chase this train around the Keystone State. You did a really magnificent super fantastic job. Way to go. Among the best quality rail fan productions ever. What kind of camera did you use? Thank you for the great effort.
Very awesome! That would be quite the sight to see!
Those e 8 are something cool.
Killer video dude! Always loved those E8 units, and this video did them justice!

JOHNRAIL& RACEFAN88 Thanks for the video. I was privileged to ride on an 18-car special from DC to Philly and back pulled by Mr. Levin's magnificent E-8's. The special train transported ambulatory military personnel from Walter Reed Army Hospital and Bethesda Naval Hospital. They were transported, fed and treated to the annual Army-Navy football game at Lincoln Financial Center Stadium in 2010. Hats off to Bennett Levin and all of the AAPRCO members who contributed their cars. Apostle Roscoe J. Dabney III Payson, Arizona

Will these units run again sometime in the future.
oh my i have never seen a classic locomotive Diesel or not run under its own power thats not a tourist line! That is something to see
I like the horn sound at 0:28
Nice Great work keep it up 👍
What’s with the stopped train in the siding next to the e8's at 4:45?
Nice Train .... :)
Well done!
0:31 we have this train (looks same and Maybe it's older version) in museums as these trains were leaved by Britain in India.
whats the horn model on this loco?
very nice
They had a lot a streamliners at spencer at the event in 2014
That's milepost 46/7 eastbound 4/7 is westbound
Original Horn?
Wow ... WOW.... NICE !!
Looks like a private car on the end, there.
Set-ups are nice AWAY from grade crossings. The horns get very annoying after awhile and they ALWAYS distort. Nice quality video! Very professional. Set ups down wind of the crossing a ways loose much if not all distortion. I do digital sound recording and the grade crossings off in the distance are much more appealing letting the sounds of the locos dominate when at source of recording. These are just my thots from years of doing this and are in no way meant to demean you wonderful videos.
The pennsy's will still live on
Cool video
that sounds like a J3 snowplow horn!
do union Pacific go by at all
The first few minutes of the video is just footage shot in the 1960s in 720p. I swear.
Nice
lol who named that interlocking? XD
Who is Bennett Levin?
that’s quite some catch, and my how they whizz right on by! how fast do you think those E8s were going?
I'm glad NS is always open to letting whatever kind of train run on their tracks, assuming they have all the right equipment & everything. News flash CSX, its called public relations, oh wait, they have the worst service in the railroad industry, so I guess that's out of the question.

You know how sometimes when you flip a light switch, there may be a delay before the light turns on. This may possibly be the case here. The circuit or the bulbs may need to be looked at.

These are absolutely gorgeous diesels but it's too bad about those anachronistic ditch lights. Historic equipment should be exempt from that requirement.
