In March, Kris and I had scoped out Old Goose Creek Road. Last week we returned in time to catch Amtrak\u2019s westward Cardinal<\/em> and then wait for Virginia Scenic Railway\u2019s afternoon Summer of Steam <\/em>Excursion.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it had been windy and raining on our first visit here, this trip found clear blue skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photos of Amtrak using my Z6-III with 24-70mm Nikkor Z-series zoom. Only a few minutes elapsed between trains, but in the Spirit of anticipation, I\u2019ll post the views of the Summer of Steam<\/em> led by Norfolk & Western 611 in my next post!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
