After departing the East Broad Top we drove north to Mount Union and followed the old Pennsylvania Railroad Middle Division west to Huntingdon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1980s and 1990s, I often visited Huntingdon, Pa., where my old pal TSH had family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a few minutes, so we drove around town. I remarked on how little the town had changed in thirty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we approached the grade crossing by the Amtrak station, the crossing lights flashed and the gates came down. We pulled into the small Amtrak lot just in time to make some grab shots of the passing Norfolk Southern freight. I also photographed the old PRR station that sits well back from the present day mainline. reflecting a line relocation from more than a century ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, my photo of the westward freight is non-standard, I like this type of photo because it captures greater environment which includes the crossing signals and the colored trees in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the train cleared the crossing we headed west toward Tyrone, where we aimed to catch the freight again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
