I love crisp clear evenings, with bright sun, low humidity and a deep blue sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a whim, I drove to Amos Herr Park in Landisville, Pa., where a trail offers clean views of Amtrak’s electrified Harrisburg Line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I arrived, I notice that a Norfolk Southern local freight with engines at both ends, was in the clear of the mainline on an industrial park lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amtrak’s westward Keystone<\/em> 649 was due, so I set up a view featuring the NS frieght in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Amtrak came into view, I made a series of photographs. This set featured ACS-64 electrics at both ends, which has become increasingly common on the Keystone<\/em> service lately, likely to overcome technical problems with the aged Metroliner Cab Control cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This set me thinking pondering other locations to best catch such moves . . . while also wondering if the NS local might pull out on to the main line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
