Twenty two years ago, photographer Mike Gardner and I made a project of photographing Norfolk Southern coal trains that served the Strawberry Ridge power plant in central Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this day, we followed a loaded train from Gallitzin toward Northumberland. It was misty and heavily overcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Tyrone, the train diverged from the Main Line onto the former Pennsylvania Railroad Bald Eagle Branch, a line maintained in part by short line Nitany and Bald Eagle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike and I set up on Washington Street in Tyrone, where the Bald Eagle branch came right up the middle of the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made this photograph on Ilford HP using a Nikon N90S with Tokina 400mm lens. My goal was to accentuate the unusual trackage with a big train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be a neat place to feature on a model railroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
