The iconic N&W 611 J Class steam locomotive has arrived at the Strasburg Rail Road! It's interesting to see the much bigger, younger 4-8-4 streamlined locomotive making runs with the older 4-8-0 N&W 475 M Class who has returned to steam in a new historical appearance for this special reunion in the heart of the scenic farmlands of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
See N&W 611 out on the mainline in the mountains of Virginia:

![Union Pacific SD60 Leads a Train! [4K]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ta12NvOrbEQ/mqdefault.jpg "Union Pacific SD60 Leads a Train! [4K]
July 11, 2018: On a beautiful summer morning, Charleston, SC - Port Newark, NJ baretable train 24Q is led by an increasingly rare, Union Pacific SD60 2188 with UP SD70M 4904 trailing. This once a week train of empty wells satisfies the demand of incoming containers at the Port Newark - Elizabeth Marine Terminal, seen here passing through Fleetwood, PA on the Norfolk Southern Reading Line. The train eases eastbound through a 25 MPH speed restriction about a mile to the west. Some nice blue wildflowers accompany scene. Id be curious to know where the style of numberboard on 2188 came from?

SD60s were common power on road trains up until around 2009-2010, when much of the fleet was sold to leasing companies, while the remainder went into storage. Same for the SD60Ms. Several UP SD60s and SD60Ms have been put back into service with a power shortage due to an increase in traffic. Most of these locomotives end up in local service, or on Norfolk Southern to repay horsepower hours, much like back in 2010 and 11 when NS also had a bunch of UP SD60Ms (and leased UP C40-8s) roaming the rails to fill trains ahead of the ES44AC/SD70ACe orders. There was also the occasional ex-UP SD60, typically HLCX, leading freights. Jump to today, especially with in the days of PTC installation and trip optimizer, seeing a leased or original UP SD60 leading a train on foreign rails is almost unheard of since most wind up in the trailing position. So with all of that said, this will be one of my prized catches for the year, even more so than the UP 1943 on the Union Pacific business train, which is just an over-rated spectacle in my opinion.

![Reading & Northern Diesel Duty with CNJ 113 [4K]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TmxIe2z1sIA/mqdefault.jpg "Reading & Northern Diesel Duty with CNJ 113 [4K]
On December 6 and 20, 2015, the Santa Train Excursions ran between Landingville and Minersville, PA. Reading & Northern provided diesel power for the outbound move for CNJ 113s northward runs back to Minersville. On the 6th, RBMN SD50 5022 provides power, while on the 20th, one of the newer GP39RN (GP30 body) RBMN 2532 provides assistance. These shots are in no particular order, but more detailed information can be found below.
If you havent seen the video of CNJ 113, you can watch it here:
