We had a moment, and I knew an Amtrak Keystone train 651 was less than five minutes away and closing quickly. So we paused along the old Main Line at Bird-in-Hand, Pa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t where ‘Bush,’ Pennsylvania is, but I wasn’t willing to risk trying to get there to find two ACS-64s on the move when I knew one was so close. (Sorry, it’s ‘bad-pun Thursday’!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using my Nikon Z7-II, I exposed a burst of photos as the train raced by trying to make up time as it approached its Lancaster station stop. ACS-64 number 668 was working in ‘push’-mode at the back of the consist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below are two of my favorites from this effort. These are scaled from the NEF-RAW capture without alterations to exposure, contrast or color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tracking the Light Posts EVERY Day!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We paused along the old Main Line at Bird-in-Hand, Pa.
