Which ever side of the track I am on is the right side.

The South invaded Gettysburg again today, and at the same spot they tried in 1863.  This time though it was Norfolk Southern 8103 (N&W Heritage) and NS 4733 in charge of the CSX local.

Sad to read about the downsizing of the WNYP. Made the pilgrimage from Oz back in October 2017 and spent a great couple of days there ticking of a bucket list item of seeing the 636s in action.
638/637/685 lag it up through North Driftwood with empty aggregate hoppers to be exchanged with NS at South Driftwood. On the left are the loaded hoppers to be collected by the locos on their return.
