Description
After delivering wooden poles to a PECO facility NS H82 with the typical 2 sisters GP38-3 5802 and GP38-2 5618 cross over onto SEPTA's Norristown line to head back home to Abrams yard to rest for the night before being called again for another weeday run on the same train. These 2 have been taking the duty of local H82 for a long time to the point Abrams yard is like their new home as I see these 2 take H82 all the time now. Both sisters however have different backgrounds. 5802 being born as Southern GP50 #7050 in 1980 before being rebuilt into a GP38-3 in 2004. 5618 the older sibiling seen behind 5802 came into the world in 1971 as Norfolk and Western GP38AC #4129 before being rebuilt into a GP38-2 in 2005. Both sisters sport different horns with 5802 having a loud P5 and 5618 with a slightly foul K5LA (i think) 5618 is the only engine to have a horn that actually hurt my ears (not counting some of the foul screechy S2Ms some Silverliner IVs have) It's great to see these 2 sisters from the 2 railroads that merged to help create Norfolk Southern are a common sight on H82 Mon-Fri
