Forty Two with PRR Colonial Crafts

Using the ASM.transit.com web page, I watched Amtrak’s Pennsylvanian make eastward progress on the Main Line. The sun crept over the hills to the east of where Kris and I were waiting. When the train was 25 minutes east of Johnstown, I said, “We should be seeing a headlight soon.”

My composition was based on the late-season foliage on the far side of the three-track mainline.

I didn’t know that PRR-Tuscan red Pullman Colonial Crafts was tied to the back of the consist, but I was delighted to catch this vision of the earlier era on the roll.

It’s always a pleasant surprise to see something like this without anticipation.

The next move was just trash—literally. Stay tuned!
