Amtrak’s General Electric Genesis™ diesels are reaching the end of their useful lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, as of this writing in October 2023, these 1990s-vintage diesels still regularly work the Pennsylvanian<\/em> between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the high midday light of summer, I didn’t expend time to photograph the passage of the Pennsylvanian<\/em>, Amtrak trains 42 and 43, which normally pass one another not far from where we now live in Lancaster, PA. However, last week, I picked a bright afternoon to photograph both trains at Gap, similar to what I had done back in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both trains were captured using my Nikon Z7II with 24-70mm Nikkor Z-series zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
