On my way back to the apartment, I found that Greenfield Road under Amtrak&#8217;s Harrisburg Line was closed\u2014likely as result of flooding from the recent rains\u2014so I detoured around via Willow Road. On my way, I heard Norfolk Southern&#8217;s New Holland local sounding for a crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I approached Willow Road (in greater Lancaster) with haste. With my Lumix LX7 in hand, I pulled over in time to see theNS  local freight approaching. I didn&#8217;t have much time to set the camera. So, I zoomed in, framed up my photo and exposed a series of digital images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first two were the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I got home I discovered that the camera was set to record in JPG rather than RAW. That&#8217;s not the end of the world, but not having a RAW file greatly limits the ability to make adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, it doesn&#8217;t matter much, December morning sun produces excellent lighting conditions with very good contrast and color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve scaled the best of the sequence for presentation here, but the photo is otherwise unaltered, and appears basically as it looked right out of the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was home about 5 minutes after I made this photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"315\" data-attachment-id=\"37908\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/grab-shot-on-the-new-holland-secondary\/ns_new_holland_branch_willow_road_lancaster_p1110351-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NS_New_Holland_Branch_Willow_Road_Lancaster_P1110351-1.jpg?fit=2048%2C1361\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1361\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"NS_New_Holland_Branch_Willow_Road_Lancaster_P1110351-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NS_New_Holland_Branch_Willow_Road_Lancaster_P1110351-1.jpg?fit=709%2C471\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NS_New_Holland_Branch_Willow_Road_Lancaster_P1110351-1.jpg?fit=474%2C315\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NS_New_Holland_Branch_Willow_Road_Lancaster_P1110351-1.jpg?resize=474%2C315\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NS_New_Holland_Branch_Willow_Road_Lancaster_P1110351-1.jpg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NS_New_Holland_Branch_Willow_Road_Lancaster_P1110351-1.jpg?resize=709%2C471 709w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NS_New_Holland_Branch_Willow_Road_Lancaster_P1110351-1.jpg?resize=1022%2C679 1022w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NS_New_Holland_Branch_Willow_Road_Lancaster_P1110351-1.jpg?resize=205%2C136 205w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NS_New_Holland_Branch_Willow_Road_Lancaster_P1110351-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1021 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NS_New_Holland_Branch_Willow_Road_Lancaster_P1110351-1.jpg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NS_New_Holland_Branch_Willow_Road_Lancaster_P1110351-1.jpg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Tracking the Light Posts Daily!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I approached Willow Road (in greater Lancaster) with haste.
