Among the surviving vestiges of the infrastructure-intensive Pennsylvania Railroad is the pin-connected truss over the Main Line at Whitford, Pa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was part of a grade-separated freight cut-off built when the railroad was America\u2019s largest and the most intensive freight hauler in the United States. This arrangement underwent a transformation during the Conrail era. Today, the PRR\u2019s main lines east of Harrisburg are largely passenger routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photos with my Nikon Z6-III fitted with a 24\u201370mm Z-series zoom. Until recently, I\u2019ve largely used my Z6-III for low-light photography; here I\u2019m working with it in bright sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEF RAW files were adjusted for color and contrast using Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
