  Neat!!! I think this is from one of the "Revelation video" tapes 
from years back. This is train destined for the power plant at 
Portland.........the lead unit obviously having some problems with 
it's turbo. Evidently, they sent helpers, which are seen leading as 
the train motors through Tobyhanna......then they cut the helpers off 
at what I think is Mt. Pocono.....and the train is last seen at 
Cresco, sans helpers. pretty neat to see these old locations.....and 
compare them to what's there today.....Nice post!
