This is outstanding footage of the Octoraro Branch. Spotted Brandywine Summit, Chadds Ford, Kennett Square (with the passenger station standing!), Avondale, Lincoln University and Oxford among others.
In the background at 7:43 is a view of 3 Fairbanks-Morse Erie Builts; was this at Enola, or could it have been at Altoona? This is a very rare occurrence, since FM units on the Pennsy were usually found on the western part of the system and were almost never seen further east than Altoona. Thanks for posting!
West Chester branch to the Octoraro,then down to Perryville, then back up the Port road, across the Rockville bridge to Enola.

This is great. If I’m not mistaken, at 7:48 you can see one of PRR’s COFC facilities. First time I’ve seen that in a film.
Nice to see some rare footage on the Pennsy in Suburban Philadelphia. I always like seeing more of the Pennsy in and around its headquartered city.

Definitely Enola!
@@BillSCHRUM Thanks!
Love the footage- hate the music. More captions from observers is helpful
