The magnificent bridges at Safeharbor make for great subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve yet to see a train at this location. And much to my regret, in all likelihood, I will never see a train on the taller of the two bridges\u2014since this now carries a rail trail instead of a railroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kris and I have paid visits to Safeharbor in various seasons. Winter yields stark lighting ideal for making silhouettes of the great spans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these views using my Nikon Z7-II with 28-70mm Nikkor zoom, and Kris’s Fuji XT4 with my 50-140mm Fujinon telephoto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d like to think that, decades ago, some photographer braved the elements to make a wintery silhouette of Pennsylvania Railroad E44 or P5a electrics leading an Enola bound freight over the top bridge from this vantage point. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the winter, Norfolk Southern freights using the lower of the two bridges are largely nocturnal owing to the limitations imposed by a freight curfew on movements over Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (which connects with this route at Perryville, Maryland).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
