On Wednesday September 23, 2015 I went up to Macungie. One main reason was knowing that the Pennsylvania heritage unit came to Sewaren NJ two days before. So mainly my goal was to catch it coming out and I succeeded! Also even Maxwell Athcrib dropped by and even some other people to enjoy the nice day! So sit back, relax and enjoy!

After just getting there and missing 36Q with two UP's trailing 20E a high priority UPS/Intermodal comes thundering east.
