Something about those AC6000's makes me smile... Nice catch! What's your light setup for this?
|
Sweet shot, Gary! Razor sharp would be an understatement while "vibrant" would be spot on!
|
This image brings me back to a night MANY years ago when a railfan friend and I camped out here overnight. Word of our presence was quickly passed on the radio and "excessive" horn tooting became the crews game for the evening. It was a great night, despite getting VERY LITTLE SLEEP ! THANKS for bringing back that memeory
|
Very nice shot! I caught this train earlier that day.
|
What railroad does the tunnel on the left belong too?
|
BOTH tunnels were built by the Boston & Albany (NYC) Originally, one was for eastbound traffic, the other for westbound. Abandonment of the westbound tunnel was a "reasonably recent" ( late Conrail, I believe) event.
|
Oh, ok thanks for the information!
|
Yes, and if you click on the "(more...) link for "Canaan, New York" in the information above, on page 2 you'll find a shot from November of 1989 with track 1 still in place but out of service (rusted), as Conrail was in the process of single tracking the B&A.
By the way, I had to laugh about the camping story, Rich. Whaaamp! Whaaamp!
