Live from the field via my Dell Axim X51:

Pittston Jtc -
The top of one of the L & S switchers is visable as you pass the Foodservice Warehouse, it used to be Bevaco, but has changed names so many time in the last few years I have lost track of it.

An R&N SD-50 was by the yard office.  A large pile of ties laid next to the main.

Taylor Yard -
Power from the local laying over in the yard.

Steamtown -
A good part of the DL fleet iis in the yard. One RS, DL 3000, and others.
Very cold out.

 many years ???)
