First video listed above is 4:48 long - described as “EB NSRR auto rack train passes thru Allentown PA on it’s way to NJ”, but I believe it’s WB instead. That sure looks like it was taken at CP BURN - note the other NS train from the yard waiting in the background to also go west after this one passes by - which is just north/ east of the W. Auburn St. grade crossing, which is here: N 40.59626 W 75.46008 (Lat./ Long. coords. per the ACME Mapper 2.0 application), just southeast of downtown Allentown. This appears to have been taken after the grade separation occurred over Basin St., which is out of view to the right and roughly parallel to the foreground tracks - there are a pair of bridges in the right background as a result (see beginning portions of the next 2 videos). One bridge has 2 tracks - former Reading RR - which then cross the Lehigh River to/ from the Allentown Yard - the ‘dark’ NS loco and its train are on that one. The other one curves down and to the right, and is the connecting track to the former Lehigh Valley RR main line on the south side of the Lehigh River here, which is now used to bypass the yard and its congestion, etc.
