Description: |
A pan shot of the cab of 9171 on the point of 85E. This one would have been nicer if the train were moving a little faster; it was accelerating from a stop at CP-Wyomissing Jct. and it wasn't going any faster than 20MPH. I still like how the background was blurred, and for once I was able to hold the camera steady long enough to get the desired effect. |

Description: |

The local's departure from Deka was timed perfectly, and I was able to get it at one of my favorite spots on the Reading Line with a sweet SD40-2R on the point. |

Last shot of a pretty good day on the Reading Line, this photo is of the west end of HA13. It's too bad that the frame stripe and pilot were faked, as this unit had one of the better shades of CR blue that I've seen on a C40-8W. |
