I was born and raised in Harrisburg Pennsylvania and when I was a kid back in the early 70s I hung out with my friends on the 2 tracks right off of South 19th street which then was the Reading Lines. I remember well the green and yellow engines and cars we saw on those tracks, before it then became Penn Central!! Excellent coverage and video, thank you!!

At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rA5cNBFBAY&t=2040">34:00</a> you can see the bridge in the far left of the video that was the Bear Run Junction to Frackville. It was a WYE and was taken out in the late 80's-early 90's. Both bridges still remain but the tracks are long gone :(

It would be awesome when 425 returns, then she could pull special occasional railfan rare mileage excursion trips on the R&N! Anyway, great catch of the rare mileage video and take care!

That tunnel exit is one of the coolest, creepiest structures.
