Snow, Alcos and Position Lights

Sixteen years ago, photographers Pat Yough, Chris Guss and I spent the afternoon following Western New York & Pennsyvania’s Driftwood Turn on the former Pennsylvania Railroad line over Keating Summit.

On the return run from North Driftwood, Pa., I made this long telephoto view of the Alco-MLW powered freight passing PRR position light signals.

At the time I was working with a Canon EOS-3 fitted with a 100-400mm Canon zoom and loaded with Fujichrome Provia 100F.
