Ridge Row Switching
Delaware-Lackawanna Job PO-74 switches out the cars they picked up earlier from NS as DL3 to assemble the train they would be taking up the Poconos. This task ended up taking way longer than it should have because they apparently were asked by the secret service to clear out the yard of any freight cars as a "security measure" in anticipation of Sleepy Uncle Amtrak Joe's visit to Steamtown the next day.
Anyways, while this lead to very frustrating wait while they tried to figure out the hell they were even doing, it did at least lead to a nice afternoon chase to Pocono Summit with angles that usually wouldn't be possible to shoot with this lighting in the morning. Also, having the 2452 & 2461 on the point, the two original Erie Lackawanna engines on property, was a nice bonus as well since both of these engines would have regularly ran on this line back in the 60s & 70s. 10-19-21
