Over hill and dale, following directions supplied by Google Maps, we set out on our first attempt to chase a train between Safe Harbor and Peach Bottom. There were plenty of twists and turns, but we made it!
And finally, after nearly a year of occasional visits—checking the light and sun angles in autumn, winter, and spring—we scored a daylight freight at Peach Bottom.
Hooray!

Kris, Seamus-the-dog and I had been exploring locations along the Susquehanna River. I knew there was an eastward Norfolk Southern train expected, but it didn’t materialize before darkness closed in.
I made this view of the former Pennsylvania Railroad bridge across Peters Creek near where the smaller river flows into the mighty Susquehanna.
Someday, I’d like to make a silhouette of a locomotive here.
