The ROAR of EMD's charging up the hill from Eddystone!! Other than the well lit surroundings of Prospect Park Sta is the fact that it's the top of the grade coming up from Eddystone.
So any heavy northbound freight is sure to make quite the noise.......especially if it's an all EMD lash-up. H-86 by PP Sta.

Rare are the days anymore when H86 even runs Amtrak. Train mostly runs "the backway" via CSX/Septa/CR Chester Secondary..........
