This is Part II of our adventure at Elkins Park (see: https:\/\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/septa-elkins-park-part-i-sunshine-before-the-storm\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kris and I walked back from Creekside Market & Tap just as the sky was turning an odd color. Big change from less than hour earlier when blue skies with puffy white clouds were the order of the afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we approached the station an outward Silverliner V accelerated away from its Elkins Park station stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon arrival back on the platform the darkness set in. An inbound train glided to a stop as another outbound train pulled away. There was a line in the sky delineating blue from gray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the street lights came on, the wind kicked up and it started to rain cats and dogs. We moved back from the row of benches beneath the station canopy to get more shelter. . .’Hey, was that a small tree that just blew across the tracks?’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The was some automated announcement about trains canceled, then suspended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow, this was some storm! By the time my NRHS slide program was to begin, the weather had calmed down, but it was a while before trains were rolling in-bound again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
