Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the exact right place to ask this, but perhaps someone here can help me out. From June 30th to July 21st, I will be working at a summer camp at the U of Scranton. As I am sure many of you are aware, DL's tracks run parallel to the campus, so I figure I will have great access to the area to get pictures on my downtime.
I already know about the Steamtown excursion trains passing through that area, but I am really interested in the Alcos DL runs and also the occasional CP SD40-2s that come through. My question is this: does anybody know of an approximate schedule when either DL or CP passes through the University area? I pretty much have no clue, in previous years I have been listening for the horns or those distinct Alco engines and racing down, but often too late.
Thanks for your help!

p.s. for anyone interested, here are two of my pics from last year:
