Evidently still quite a bit of track work still to be done ? Is there going to be a CP at ythat location or hand throw switches ?

Great video! Looks like it may have been shot from a drone! Agree?
I wonder how the trains got across the river before the new bridge? Also, which direction is the train shown in the video heading?
Rio Grande Valley, CFI,CFII
Not exactly 'high speed' railroading.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
Great video. It's an impressive shot from very high that catches the entire train on both sides of the river.

BaltACD Not exactly 'high speed' railroading.
With the possible exception of BNSF's intermodal service; what is?
PJS1I wonder how the trains got across the river before the new bridge?
Remember that this is a connection between two wildly different historical railroad plants which at one time were fierce competitors.
Prior to the Nesquehoning bridge, the power would have to be run around the standing train, with all the fun that implies, to go back south on the 'other' side.
I believe the train is going south on the west (Jim Thorpe) side of the river, back toward the Reading/Philadelphia area, and that the red skew truss bridge goes over the line to the Lehigh Gorge about which there was so much consternation last year...

Nah! Just some guy on stilts.

Pkgs.
Not quite a "new" Horseshoe Curve, more like an "N" scale version of the old one.
Great video, though! There's some beautiful country up there, isn't there? I'd love to see the videographer re-shoot it in the autumn.
And man, that is ONE long train!
I wonder what the fishing's like in that river...
You would not want to operate any train that long on a curve like that at high speed. Can you say "STRING LINING"? Beautiful video.

That's what I thought, but I did want to confess my ignorance in a public forum.
Now, for the next round of BS...........
