EspañolUnion Railroad #8 at Camp Hill in McKeesport
Title:
Union Railroad #8 at Camp Hill in McKeesport
Description:
The Union Railroads SW1500 #8 doesn't see much travel. Even before the Riverton Bridge had its rails removed to become a pedestrian/bike bridge, this unit could often be found at the Camp Hill works in McKeesport, PA. It became a permanent resident at the plant when the bridge closed. Here, #8 is seen doing its routine job of moving cars around at Camp Hill. Video was filmed on January 16, 2009. The camera's poor focus was due to the extremely bright sun keeping me from seeing the screen on my camera, and the harshly cold temperature didn't help much either.

On the end of the usual hoppers seen around this area are a line of interesting cars (starting around ... |
