Wednesday was my lucky day last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I caught up with Norfolk Southern’s H23 local freight at Lancaster Junction (see my earlier post), and followed it to Manheim, Pa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve visited the old Reading & Columbia station in Manheim on several occasions. This classic station is now a museum and captures the atmosphere of a typical small town railroad depot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing the train wasn’t far behind me, I set up timetable east of the station building and after a very short wait, the headlight came into view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although clouds resulted in dappled light, I made some satisfying images of the short freight approaching and passing Manheim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
