We maintained an old tradition: watching the passage of Amtrak’s Lake Shore Limited<\/em> at Palmer, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kris Sabbatino and I met some old friends at CP83 in Palmer where we enjoyed takeout from the Steaming Tender (located inside the historic Union Station).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I looked up at the signals and said, ‘449 ought to be hitting the circuit at CP79 any second now.’ And on cue the light cleared to ‘green over red’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photos of Amtrak’s westward Lake Shore Limited<\/em> hitting the Palmer diamond using my Nikon Z6 with 24-70mm lens. I set the camera manually with a 1\/1600th of a second shutter speed to better freeze the motion of the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amtrak 449 is the Boston section of the train, which joins the New York section at Amtrak’s Albany-Rensselaer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
