Harrisburg Container Parade

The economy seems to be rebounding and the container traffic is up on the way through Harrisburg on the Norfolk Southern. The timing was good for me to be in a parking garage at N 7th St & Forster St, Harrisburg, PA 17101  and be at just the right height to get some good shots of some of the containers going by.

The SeaLand cars are empty, but they give a good view of how to weather the cars. Most model railroad container trains that I have seen are way too clean. You can really grunge these cars up. I love the track detail in these shots, too. The ties are nearly buried in ballast.
