Through the fields in the pouring rain |
Description: |
H75 heads through an open field near the Steuben Road crossing a minute before noon in very heavy rainfall. Compare the front of the consist with earlier photos of the chase and you'll notice that some hoppers were picked up along the way. Waiting for the train at the Route 512 crossing just south of Bath revealed that there were 30 cars in the consist - all of them either covered hoppers or centerbeam flats loaded with lumber. |

Description: |
Catching a 40-mile per hour train in a patch of sunlight only a few feet in length requires either some precise timing or the use of burst mode. This time the former option worked well enough to at least keep the front of the engine clear of shadows. |

The trailers form a slight arch pattern as they crest the hill behind 21M's power. The UP SD70M in third was the only non-NS engine seen during this trip. The lead unit is about to pass over the 29.9 hot box and dragging equipment detector. That cut off whistle post is a compositional blunder that I'd rather not repeat. (11:06AM) |

Title: |
NS 11J |
Description: |
Westbound empty auto train 11J rolls through Emmaus as viewed from a slightly different vantage point. Notice that the 9340 is missing the "W" in its class sticker, thus incorrectly making it a "D9-40C" (not that it matters). |

214 is 'mashed as it approaches Sixth Street at 7:05AM. Special thanks to the "headlight glare removal tool" (clone brush) for saving this one. :-) |

NS 212 |
Description: |
I chose to head to the other side of the tracks for this shot of 212 heading past the E292 signal and the Seventh St. crossing at 7:20AM. The 8942 had one of the best P5s I've ever heard. |
