Sam, that is not a bad spot. You could catch the train as it crosses the road. 238 is a well traveled road and I am not sure where a good place to park would be.
The good section of Spring road is about 3-4 miles north-east of 238. Its not nearly as busy by locals as 238 but will probably be filled with railfans when the train goes by.

Is it known if there will be any professional video shoots of this trip that will be going to dvd?
Are there even any "professional video" outfits left anymore? What with YouTube, and everyone taking their own videos, most of the "profession" outfits are gone, and/or, only sell vintage steam & diesel DVDs.
A fellow who has the handle of "typebangin" on TO does very good videos, he has followed the travels of the steam locos in the current NS program for several years.
He posts snippets on TO and youtube, and sells complete dvds at: www.steamtrainvideos.com
Assuming she's coming from the west through Hamburg/Bayview, any idea what day and time she might pass through there? This may be my only chance to catch a glimpse as I have committments all weekend. Thanks.
We deadheaded everything to Buffalo on Monday. You missed it. 
Well, at a train shop in Jim Thorpe, PA, which is one of your stops on upcoming trips in August, they had DVD's of Reading and Northern 425 trips. Forget who made them. I haven't been to Jim Thorpe for a few years.
I will be in that same car tomorrow. How is it? Nice? Thanks!
That's great.....I can't wait! Thank you!
Wife and I really enjoyed the trip. Rich did a great job getting us there and getting us back to Buffalo...........Engineer # 1.......................Paul
My wife and I were in the St Augustine car for the 8/1 trip. What a wonderful time! Many thanks for all the folks that made this event possible!
My wife Eileen and I were in the orange and brown Iowa Pacific Prairie View dome car (with Empire Builder words on the side as well) on Saturday. What an awesome ride - weather was perfect (A/C was almost too cold), and the view along the way was nice, especially the ride across the Letchworth gorge. There were people all along the route virtually everywhere that was open - most of them waving. Several vehicles paced with us for a good part of the trip. This was our first time in a dome cars, and the trip sold us as the way to go on future trips.
Thanks, Rich, and all of the FWHS, for another great excursion.
Well I couldn't do the trip because of prior commitments, but I got to see her coming thru Lancaster Saturday morning. Our TTOS local chapter set up a meet at the N Aurora St. crossing complete with coffee and donuts/muffins. Check out the video.
NYC-ZMAN: Nice video, really GREAT sound!
