This program features a “Head End” ride from Harrisburg to 30th Street Station, Philadelphia aboard an Amtrak F40PH diesel engine. Leaving Harrisburg you will see a Conrail Mail train passing along the Susquehanna River, pass by “Three Mile Island” towers and then begin passing through the scenic Pennsylvania Dutch countryside. After stopping at Lancaster Station we continue east past many Amish farms, around “Gap” curve, pass Parkesburg Station (used in a scene in the Harrison Ford movie “Witness”), Pass over the Coatesville High Bridge, pass Conrail’s Thomdale Yard, pass Downingtown and make a stop at Paoli. On the move again we pass many quaint “Main Line” stations before arriving at 30th Street Station, Philadelphia.

The date is June 28th, 1985, & Walt Berko is in the cab of F40 279 with Driver Tom Bachelor on Amtrak’s since discontinued Broadway Limited under rainy skies from downtown Harrisburg which was used in the 2000 movie: Thomas & the Magic Railroad which also stars Norfolk & Western 475 disguised as the Indian Valley Railroad’s Rainbow Sun, east on the electrified Mainline to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia which is also on the route of the Northeast Corridor.
This eastbound cab ride was shot days after the Strasburg Railroad operated a rare steam Doubleheader with 4-4-0 number 1223 & 4-4-2 Atlantic type locomotive number 7002 to the Rockville Viaduct at Harrisburg.
Along the way, there are meets with Conrail’s westbound Mail Train number 11, which after big blue was gone in 1999, this route is taken over by Norfolk Southern, Amtrak’s Pennsylvanian, some MOW equipment, Great Western 2-10-0 90 at Leaman Place Junction, & the SEPTA commuter rail.
