This 1995 video(2003 DVD) features some interesting action since lots and lots of changes on the railroad were made over the years. The only things that were interesting the most was the wheel slipping from CN 89 at Leaman Place junction. Plus shunting a Conrail diesel at the railroad museum of Pennsylvania nearby.
