At Hershey's Derry Street grade crossing...

Received via email

is the location of this stopped westbound freight on Friday afternoon near MP 99. The train's symbol was NS 19G, a Oak Island to Bellevue, OH general merchandise train. As to why it stopped there was unknown. There were no trains coming east that might have accounted for this temporary stop or perhaps track work might have been the cause. Once it started to head west there was also some interesting rolling stock mixed in the consist. One of those was a Reading & Northern covered hopper. Its simple paint scheme made it a very good looking car!
