Although I’ve done so countless times, you don’t need to travel to Vermont to see Amtrak’s Vermonter<\/em> on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norfolk Southern has several trains working eastbound on the Port Road, so Kris and I went to Perryville, Maryland, to wait for them. Along the way, we rolled by several Amtrak trains on the Northeast Corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First in the parade was Train 57, the Sunday-schedule Vermonter<\/em>. Amtrak has erected powerful floodlights along the line to aid track maintenance. With my Nikon Z6-III, I set the ISO to 12,800, which allowed for a shutter speed of 1\/640th of a second at f\/1.4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the result. More trains followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
