Delaware's Towns, Countryside, and the Water | Chasing Norfolk Southern Grain Train

Delmarva Rail Productions chase's Norfolk Southern's 44M grain train from Harrington to Delmar, MD trough Delaware's towns, countryside, and over the Nanticoke River in Seaford! Locations: 0:45 - Harrington - Starting our video in Harrington, 44M approaches state route 14 as it creeps along the yard limits. A few cars into the train, a Aberdeen and Rockfish hopper is seen, you can also read the slogan "the road of personal service". This train is lead by two Norfolk Southern AC44C6M;s #4889 and #4532 2:35 - Greenwood - 44M works it's way through Greenwood in front of the former train station, now L&M insurance agency, which also has Progressive Insurance. The Greenwood Public Library is also there and open. 3:16 - Cannon - The train now passes in front of Allen Harim Foods feed mill located in rura Cannon. 5:06 - Seaford - Crawling at walking speed, the train crosses the Nanticoke River on the historic swing bridge, right near the Seaford Public Boat Ramp. 7:38 - Laurel - 44M blows the horn for multiple crossings as we capture it high in the air revealing the town of Laurel. 9:11 - Delmar, DE - In Delmar's row of town buildings, 44M crosses over sate route 54, also where the DE/MD line is. The drone is on the Maryland side, while I was on the Delaware side. 10:43 - Delmar, MD - We see 44M put the train away at Connely Mill Rd, where the yard is. Amick Farms had their yard full of other hoppers to be unloaded, so this train had to be dropped off in the yard. 24:55 - Delmar, DE - Back at Delmar, DE, 44M leaves with northbound loads. 28:46 - Old Crow Rd - In front of Amick Farms, 44M also needs to pick up grain cars from there, watch as we see the crew do the switching under the setting sun!
