Finally!

After more than two years of eying up the Lititz Station (itself a recreation) as location to photograph a train, I finally caught a locomotive here.

Last week, I was patient as NS local H23 switched a local industry. After a while, SD60E 6977 pulled a few cars down and began its run around.

This gave me ample time to get the locomotive crossing Pennsylvania Rt 501 (North Broad Street) by the old Wilbur Chocolate factory.

My timing was good. Not only did the sun come out, but as I was making my photos, a fellow photographer informed me of the plan to move the run around track further west and eliminate the need to cross North Broad Street and pass the station.

I also made a few Fujichrome slides to preserve the event for posterity.
