Amtrak’s daily westward Pennsylvanian, Train 43, was running slightly behind the advertised. This was a bonus train, as I was more interested in catching its eastward counterpart, Train 42, which featured P42 108 specially dressed for Amtrak’s 50th Anniversary.

I was relieved when Train 43 came into view, and I exposed a series of photos as it passed the old PRR station at Christiana, Pa. Old 43’s tail lights were barely past me, when I headed for the car to drive against 42, which was already out of Lancaster and racing in my direction.

Stay tuned!
