[HD] PRR Heritage, UP, BNSF, CSX, EMD's And More At Macungie!

On Wednesday September 23, 2015 I went up to Macungie. One main reason was knowing that the Pennsylvania heritage unit came to Sewaren NJ two days before. So mainly my goal was to catch it coming out and I succeeded! Also even Maxwell Athcrib dropped by and even some other people to enjoy the nice day! So sit back, relax and enjoy!

This is terrific! On UA-cam check out Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotten. There's also a recording done by Pete Seeger. I think it would make a great music over for a freight train video. You should read up on Elizabeth Cotten too. I think she was a former slave. Her story is very interesting!

[@bplmedia]

+Judith Thompson Okay thanks! I will definitely check that out!
