NS M2T |
| Description: |
An accident just north of Cementon cost us a shot at Treichlers, but thankfully a motorist alerted us before the train got too far ahead. We caught up just north of Treichlers and got the train heading north through Walnutport at 6:38PM. |

NS M2T in the Lehigh Gorge |
| Description: |
M2T is seen heading north through East Jim Thorpe at 7:25PM. Although the mountains are still rather well-lit, shadows have overtaken ground level by this time. This is undoubtedly one of the more scenic sections of railroad in eastern Pennsylvania. |

The final shot of the chase: heading north through the rock cut a few miles north of Jim Thorpe at 7:38PM. Interestingly, while the track the train is using is owned by NS, the track in the foreground is owned by the Reading & Northern. |
