Remarks & Notes

Venerable Acela trainset #1 takes train 2255(09) south past HOOK interlocking during a warm summer thunderstorm. The mist flies from the catenary as the pantograph kicks it away. HOOK tower, now closed, is visible to the far right, although the interlocking has long been controlled by an Amtrak CETC dispatcher.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
