Pat Yough and I made the most of this photographic opportunity, including exposing images of R&N GP30 2532 that worked the Schuylkill Haven-end of the train.<\/p>\n

At Minersville, I focused on the locomotive\u2019s details.<\/p>\n

Last year, (see:\u00a0Happy Christmas from Tracking the Light: Doubleheaded Steam<\/a>)\u00a0we\u2019d photographed double-headed trains with CNJ\u2019s 113 trailing behind Reading & Northern\u2019s Pacific number 425. Where last year we had overcast weather, this year we had a mix of bright sun and high cloud.<\/p>\n

Another change was that 113 recently had had its boiler jacketing restored. While a subtle improvement for the casual observer, it really made for more authentic looking photographs.<\/p>\n
