Scranton Branch Sunshine
Just one more from this great location.
Reading and Northern train YJPI (Yard Job PIttson) was making a morning run up to NS' Taylor yard to set out and pick up nearly 50 cars to take back to Pittston. On the way there they paused to work the Mariotti Building Products at MP 3 on R&N's Scranton Branch (the former Lackawanna Bloomsburg Line). Having finished up there they are back on the move north twisting along near MP 3.4 just north of the Moosic Road crossing. Taylor is about two and a half twisting winding miles ahead.
Leading northbound is GP38-2 2011 blt. Oct. 1976 as high hood SOU 5184. On the rear end of their train to facilitate the switch move was their other unit GP39RN 2530 blt. Jun. 1963 as a GP30 numbered ATSF 1281.
