RARE CATCH!!
On May 12, 2009 I made a trip to Topton, pa to hopefully catch some NS action...instead I got a pleasent surprize! I caught East Penn Railways GE 44-tonner #44 moving a gondola from Topton to Kutztown for a steel facility on the former Reading RR Kutztown branch. The train operates on and off during the week. I wanted to catch this for a while now!
Orig. the 44 hauled passengers on this line between 1996-2000. The passenger operation then ceased. The branch is orig. a Reading branch that was built to serve the town of Kutztown and a steel factory. It also provided serivce for students attending Kutztown Univ. Both the Kutztown and Topton stations still stand and are also seen in this video.
