The day dawned clear and bright. I spent an hour at CP83 in Palmer making good use of the light. The railroads cooperated and supplied a parade of eastward trains, and these favored the sun for classic views.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve made countless thousands of photos at Palmer, Massachusetts, but it\u2019s always nice to keep the files fresh.<\/p>\n

Then something unexpected happened, and by shear luck I caught a rare move! Stay tuned for Part 2.<\/p>\n
