Obama at Crum Lynne |
|
Posted by Fulton Frank on Sat Jan 17 13:04:04 2009 Beautiful Crum Lynne in Delaware county PA south of Phily. This is SEPTA R2 territorythen just as was mentioned, double headed P32's came by with #44 in the lead And trailing in "Georgia" was the man of the hour... Too bad about that lady's hand |

Too bad there is no single engine (AEM-7, P42, P40-B, GP40TC, etc.)in the Amtrak roster with the number 2009 other than an Acela Power car bearing the number 2009!! Would have completed the number system marking the date!! |

It felt good to be there. The people - non rail fans far as I could tell - were truly excited. A moment in American history. |

Also, there was no problem knowing when the train was approaching.... helicopters - USCG and Marrine-1 came through first. Also, the cops there were very nice. They pushed us back, but they also gave us a blow-by-blow as to where the train was. It came through at I'd say ~ 50 mph, not anyway near MAS.I forget the numeration of the tracks there but it was wrong railing on one of the inner two. |
