During midday, Amtrak 42 and 43\u2014the eastward and westward Pennsylvanian<\/em>s\u2014pass Lancaster within a few minutes of each other. Unlike the electric Keystone<\/em> services these trains are diesel-hauled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shelley Lane abuts the railroad and makes for classic location to rollby trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these views with a 24-70mm lens set to its 24mm wide angle wtih a 1\/2000th of second shutter speed as train 43 worked west in early afternoon with a classic P42 Genesis diesel leading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think, it would have been neat to stand here 60 years earlier to catch a Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 passing at speed with tuscan red passenger cars in tow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
