coach joe: Oh how right you are! 

jhz563: You bet!  I enjoy watching Strasburg Rail Road's daily action on Virtual Railfan.  It's just a click away on their own website.  If you get lucky you'll witness Amtrak passing the Strasburg at Leaman Place (Paradise) while S R R's power is running around their excursion train as they prepare to return home. 

An honest to goodness "bonus" is when you can catch S R R (x-NYC) SW8 swapping freight cars at the Norfolk Southern (x-PRR) Paradise interchange.  In addition to operating their well known passenger excursions, Strasburg also conducts a very successful freight business at their namesake town, where they maintain a transloading facility. 

One of my regular stops on VRF's site. The SRR is a very busy railroad for sure. This time of year all of the corn is being harvested and shipped out to market too.
Friday I caught 475 shunting some cars at the end of the day before heading to the shed.

If they could add another camera at the west end of the yards it would be perfect.
