Viewing Album:  Chasing One of the Last Canadian Pacific 259s in Northeast PA!
 
By:Jacob Rink
Dates:6/26/2015 - 6/26/2015
Album Info:With all CP ops south of Albany in PA & NY switching over to NS in August, CP Allentown-Binghamton manifiest 259 only has a few more runs before it fades into history. With this being said, I made it a goal of mine to chase the 259. On 6/26/15, I did so, following them up the NS Upper Lehigh Line, RBMN Main Line, and CP Sunbury Sub. Power was CP SD60 6249 & SD40-2 5690 for the 259. CP GP38-2 7305 & GP40-2 4650 were added in Scranton when 259 doubled with local D11 in Taylor Yard.
