The other night an unusually high dew point made for some interesting effects including a fine ground mist.
We had paused near Shelley Drive to watch Amtrak’s westward Keystone pass. This was in the common configuration with a former Metroliner cab control car at the leading end and an ACS-64 electric propelling the train from the rear.
The engine rolled by, its pantograph wire-contact resulted in a series of zaps (sparks) caused by electrical arcing.
Kris said, ‘Wow did you catch the sparks?’
Upon review, I saw that one of my images had recorded the flash as the engine trailed by.
