August 1987; with Rolleiflex in hand, I spent an evening at Port Chester, New York along the former New Haven Railroad four-track electrified main line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Port Chester offered several attractions. The nearly north-south alignment of the track made it a great place to catch eastward trains in the evening light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metro-North was operating a variety of trains using its venerable FL9s (dual-mode diesel-electric\/third-rail electrics), and these tended to face outbound (east) in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was along the portion of the line still equipped with New Haven\u2019s distinctive triangular catenary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I focused my efforts on the FL9 powered trains, I also photographed Metro-North\u2019s more common multiple units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the images I made was this high-structured composition that frames a Grand Central bound multiple unit in the structure of the catenary and its supports. There\u2019s a lot of angles here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
