Yesterday evening, I set up at Gap, Pa., on the former Pennsylvania Railroad to wait for Amtrak Keystone<\/em> 651. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great time of year for the light at Gap as the low evening sun illuminates the sweep of the curve, while leaving a textured dark backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I saw ACS-64 626, I smiled. If there was one of these electrics that I could claim as a favorite, it would be old 626. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was so fixated on the leading engine that I didn’t even notice the second ACS-64 at the back of the consist until it hummed by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
