NS 1066 |
| Description: |
Driving 90 minutes on a hunch doesn't always work out, but today it did; NS NYC Heritage unit 1066 leads Allentown-based wayfreight H76 eastbound on the Lehigh Line, destined for interchange with 3 cars for my favorite shortline, BDRR, at Hudson Yard, then up to Slateford, Pa, with the remainder of the train for the Delaware-Lackawanna RR. |
