There’s a nice curve on the old Main Line near Cove, Pennsylvania, just east of Norfolk Southern’s timetable location SIP116 (near milepost 116).

We pulled in expecting to catch a westward freight, and saw that an eastward train was approaching slowly.

We had ample time to jump out of the car and get cameras ready. I didn’t want to over complicate things, so I restricted my photographic efforts to just four cameras: Two Nikon digital, plus my Fuji XT1, and a Nikon F3 loaded with Ektachrome. Kris thought this was excessive, but hey! the sun was out and the railroad was alive!

I made this view using my Nikon Z6 70-200mm lens.

More images coming soon!
