Big Engine—Short Train from Sumac Road

Last week, Norfolk Southern’s H23 local had setoff one of its three cars at Manheim, Pa., before continuing east toward Lititz. NS SD60E 6977 had ample horsepower to move its short train!

I made this view on Sumac Road from a hill overlooking the line using my Z7-II with 70-200mm Nikkor zoom.

I’d scoped out this location on my drives inspecting the line, and this was my first opportunity to catch a train traversing this former Reading Company route.

This is a much enlarged version of the same photo.
