I am in the Reading area for a few days and wonder where are some good places to see and photograph NS trains in the Reading to Harrisburg vicinity.

the one good place I know of is one the west shore of the susquhanna river, directly across the river from Harrisburg; the Enola Yards. The northern end of them is at I-81 so it's easy access. I-81 south to 11/15 south. I don't know the Reading area enough.

Be on the lookout for trains 15T, 16T, 211, and 212, they usualy have UP power.
