Nice! Always looking for rail can locations. Where were you?

Howdy Hokie71,

These videos were shot in Haysville and Glenfield, PA, on the Norfolk Southern Fort Wayne Line. They are about 5 minutes apart by road and very close to I-79. As you can see, Glenfield is a great shot for westbounds, particularly in the evening if there is sunlight. Haysville is a great shot for eastbounds mid-morning and early afternoon.

46M at Haysville eastbound in mid-May 2020.

The problem of shooting westbound at Haysville; NS has not removed the old utility or telegraph poles. The signal bridge that used to frame westbounds is also gone, so it is no longer that interesting.

Glenfield eastbound with C28. It's not a bad shot, it just has no flavor.

NS 67R (probably) westbound at Glenfield. Particularly if one has a good zoom lens or a tall tripod, it can be a great photo spot.
