Wednesday has arrived! Welcome once again to Midweek Photos! Glad you could stop by
While gassing up my car yesterday, I saw that Canadian Pacific Railway was heading north out of Scranton. I decided to go on a chase. The above was caught on the McDade Expressway. (US11)
Before getting tangled in traffic in Clarks Summit, I pulled over and grabbed some shots in Chinchilla. With all the wires, and foliage, I now know why no one ever gets this location
Iowa Chicago & Eastern units make it to the East on CP lines quite often these days.
The train consisted of a mix of cars, shorty hoppers with sand, empty lumber cars and empty grain cars, as seen above. Realizing later that this train of mostly empties means it wouldn't travel slowly for long. But I did try to nab it on the other side of Clarks Summit.
I did catch a bit of luck, but not what I expected. After waiting at this bridge for nearly a half hour, I heard a train roar behind me. This Norfolk Southern train heading south.
That was the only train action I caught. How did you do in your pursuit of trains on the rails in real life? Active freight, passenger, museum, tourist or park trains are welcome here.
Thank you as always to all the contributors over the year. Have a wonderful week.
