Headed that way next week prepping myself and kinda know the area just never fanned it before …Supers were a rare move but still neat catch.

5hrs of a cool ride that can be skimmed out in 30 minutes or less…Leaving 30th St station in Philly and riding by some good stuff like Strasburg, Three Mile Island, Rockville etc.

Watched the 1st hour and a half till it got to Harrisburg and crossed the Rockville bridge. Recognized a lot of places along the route, West Philly, the Mainline, out through Downingtown, Coatesville, Parksburg, then crosses under Rt 41 into Atglen, along 741 to Paradise, the connection to the Strassburg RR, back under RT 30, past the High Steel Structures plant and on into Lancaster. It parallels Rt 30 along much of that route. Pretty familiar with a lot of that area. After it left Lancaster I knew it paralleled 283 out to the river. I was surprised it stopped in Elizabethtown, but an interesting video none the less.
