The Frograil Guide to the NS Harrisburg Line Wyomissing to Harrisburg is very detailed, and it lists many good photography sites.

I have photographed trains in Lebanon, PA where the NS tracks run in a private right-of-way in the middle of a street. There are old abandoned industrial buildings on both sides of the street, and they are good photo props. A park at 12th Street is at the west end of the street running, and it is a good location for photographing westbound trains, but the neighborhood is not the best.

I have also photographed trains in Palmyra which still has a station which is on the north side of the tracks; that station is now a hobby shop.

I don't know if you've seen this site - but it gives info on Wyomissing Junction.  Be sure to go to Dos-E-Dough (sp?)  bakery located nearby.

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.
