Wednesday has returned, and with it comes the next edition of Midweek Photos. This topic has been going on OGR for as long as I have been following, and then some. When I added OGR to my regular websites to follow, this is what I would first check out at work after my weekend (at the time, Monday and Tuesday). I hope you can add a few railroading photos to keep this thread active into the future.
I decided to go to New York last week, and the best way to get there, IMO, is by train. I showed up late for one commuter train to the city, so I had about 40 minutes to kill before the next one. Dover, NJ is the western end of NJ Transit electric operations, so that is where I normally board.
The station is a decent size, but the railroad only uses a small part of it. Sometimes there is a restaurant in the rest of the building, but it is closed for now.
Here is my train. an ALP 46, which came on line early in this Century.
I didn't take any train pics while in the city. I walked the High Line, which is an elevated railroad route that the New York Central once used to service factories and warehouses downtown. It is now a nature trail. No photos here, either.
Please feel free to add some of your photos of real-world trains here. See you next week, and have a great time rail-fanning.
