    Excellent photography, crisp and clear...one of the best videos of this location that I've come across. Interesting to see a bit of the area beyond the tracks.

    Nice job. Pennsylvania has a really interesting railroading history. I’ve been to several places in different parts of that state. It’s easy to see that geography was a problem for the railroads. Pennsylvania’s anthracite coal mining region fueled the railroads and industries. That’s interesting history too.

    I haven't even watched this yet but I'll give it a thumbs-up! I was there today. I've been there dozens of times but I always look forward to and enjoy it. I love the graphics that show the viewer where they are. Thanks for the video!

    The fact that they depict the P42 as a 6 axle locomotive on that poster bothers me way more than it should...

    I know Amtrak operates over this line as well. What is the closet station stop to this location and about how far from it?

      I see AMTRAK few miles west from here, Tunel Hill but no idea where the train spotting.

    What would be really awesome is if the installed a screen showing the ATCS Monitor data for the curve and the tracks around the area
    I have seen several times people have brought laptops and SDRs and run the software but the railroad should install it and display the activity.
    It would pull the area together and people would be ready for photography knowing when and where the trains were coming and what tracks

    Looks like your camera is overheating in a couple in the shots.
    Good video and plenty of horn salutes

    Nice camera work. Is there a reason why the on premise camera is not working? I haven't seen any live daily shot for weeks? I miss seeing 42 and 43.

      Seen it weak as fuck this was built in the 1850s and the grade is steeper than yours all you have is rain and depression

    Typical American hyperbole using the term 'world famous' - it's so famous that I've never heard of it.

    • @Alxnick

      Just because you've never heard of something doesn't make it not famous.
      It gained the term at the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition, where a model of it was displayed. It was, at the time, a major work of engineering and well known outside the US.

      @@Alxnick fame is transient, Maybe you should have applied the term 'was world famous over 130 years ago'?
