We start with train #131 slowing to pick up a pair at Newark (pronounced New-ARK down here):


Rebuilt Savage GP's now switch the oil cans at the BPF Refinery in Delaware City....yes, we got chased:


The sun was out by the time we found NS train 12G spotting the engines for the week at Jello Yard in Dover:


The chase is on:


The ex-PRR alignment runs right next to Route 190 for several miles:


We get far enough ahead to shoot at the end of the siding at Wyoming:


But because of going thru the little towns the next chance we get is approaching Harrington:


12G starts out at Pittsburgh (Conway) & drops down the Port Road Branch from Enola to Perryville, Md, north on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor to Newark, DE, and then south on the Delmarva Secondary to end the trip at Harrington:


NS has two lines below Harrington, the original "main" that ran to Cape Charles & the carfloat to Norfolk, now run by Bay Colony RR below Pcomoke MD, and a secondary line that we will follow to the DE/MD border. First stop is Ellendale, where ex-Conrail B23-7 #1961 sits to handle traffic for the Delaware Coast Line route to Milton:


DLCR operate 2 disconnected routes off the NS. This is their shop at Georgetown on the line to Lewes:


NS ownership ends at Frankford with the Maryland & Delaware taking over the rest of the way to the Maryland border & beyond to Snow Hill MD. An out of service CF7 sits at Selbyville, center of the MDDE operation. The 2632 started out as Santa Fe F7 #252C in 1951:


We then hit Seaford on the NS side where WoowooDave shoots an SD40 rebuild:


Seaford is the site of one of two swing spans on the NS portion of the line. This crosses the Nanticoke River:


Seaford station was built in 1903 to replace the original (1856) structure which burned. A boat is kept at the station in case the bridge has problems:


One shot in Jersey at Paulsboro before calling it a wrap:
