On Friday August 8th, 2025, Kris, Seamus and I were on one of our evening drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had been just over a year since I lost my old notebook. My finally entry had been on departing Downington on Amtrak’s eastward Keystone<\/em> as we traveled toward Philadelphia. I’d noted the passenger count. I only noticed its absence long after our arrival in Philadelphia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day it went missing, I wrote to Amtrak, filled out a lost item form, and ultimately received an automated response that my ‘item’ was not located and the case was closed. To this day, what became of my notebook remains a mystery. I really hope that it one day makes its way back, as the notebook itself was a gift from Kris during our last trip to Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, back to August 8, 2025; we paused at Amtrak\/SEPTA’s Downingtown station just as eastward Keystone <\/em>No. 658 was coming to a stop. I leapt into action and made these photos with my Nikon Z7-II. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the train glided away, I sort of hoped that my missing notebook would magically materialize out of the ether. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
