In between errands, I had a few minutes to spare. It was a little before two and Amtrak’s Pennsylvanians <\/em>were due. So I repaid a visit to the Conestoga River bridge in Lancaster, Pa., and scored both east and westward trains just a few minutes apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had just enough time to relocate between trains. The nice thing about the P42 hauled consists is the tell-tale chug of their GE FDL prime movers that gives a few seconds notice before the train rolls into view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My intent was to make use of the reflection of the bridge and train in the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both images were made using my Nikon Z6 with 24-70mm zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
