Happy Wednesday. I know, I am late to the game, but the Midweek thread goes on and on. I have a few recent pics to show, and then I will leave the thread in your capable hands.
I got some interesting light on local trains in the last weekend or so. The above photo is the return of a Steamtown Halloween excursion to Gouldsboro, PA, or "Ghouls-boro" as we call it this time of year. Arriving in Scranton, the trees were absolutely perfect to view in the mid afternoon Sun.
On Sunday, October 27, some switching maneuvers in the yard led to this side-by side view of the Lackawanna F3s next to the Reading FP7s. Unusual light allowed for this shot, plus the reflective number boards on the units' noses. These locomotives are normally not very close to one another, so photographing them right next to each other is pretty swell.
Late afternoon Sun led to this view of the Steamtown Visitor Center well lit, and Reading 4-8-4 no. 2124 cast in the shadows. Very "fall-looking" even without nearby shrubbery changing colors.
Short week for me. I hope you like these, and are willing to share some of your own photos. Have a Happy Halloween tomorrow. This Sunday begins Standard Time for many of us, so enjoy your extra hour of sleep, or your extra early hour of rail-fanning. See you next week.
