[SS][T-135] Heavy Haulers, Helpers & Watching Trains From A Tower (Summer Special 2019) | Trains 21

Towers are a rapidly disappearing piece of North American railroadiana.. Many are being rightly renovated and serve to remind us of our rich railroad history.. In modern times, helper operations take place in Northeastern PA on the Delaware Lackawanna Pocono Mainline as the D-L continues to grow in revenue and heavy carload traffic....
