On Sunday (February 5, 2023), Kris and I briefly visited the old Reading Company station at Palmyra, Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We crossed the tracks on Railroad Avenue and spied the headlight of an eastward freight. By the time I got the car safely stopped, the grade crossing gates were down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, I made a series of hastily composed digital images of the passing Norfolk Southern freight, none were to my satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening of Sunday, February 5, 2023, I made this hastily composed view of an eastward NS intermodal train crossing Railroad Avenue in Palmyra, Pennsylvania. Z7-II with 24-70mm lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I returned to the same crossing on Monday (February 6, 2023) with a vision of recreating what I saw the previous day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norfolk Southern provided an eastward intermodal train at almost exactly the same time as the day before. This time I was prepared. I made these photos using my Nikon Z6 with 70-200mm lens and adjusted the NEF (RAW) files in Adobe Lightroom for presentation here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday February 6, 2023, I was ready with camera in hand to recreate the vision of an approaching eastward train that I’d seen the day before.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
