Can anyone relate to this sequence?

PTC related signal replacement has made the area around "MH" Tower a bit messy of late, and I have mostly avoided photography of trains on the Freight Wye between NS/Amtrak and BNSF because of it. However, I noticed that a fairly fresh UP 8800 was leading a set of light engines from Canal Street to Global One, and decided I would catch it going by. My plan was to take the best available view precisely as the leading unit blocked out some of the orange construction fencing that is currently spread around the work zone area in copious amounts. You can see the results. Of course, in another circumstance I'm sure NO ONE one on here can relate to, the fast moving cloud cleared just as the last unit was passing my viewpoint.

Hope everyone is having an enjoyable Labor Day, clouds or no!

Cheers,

Funny, I thought that only happened to me....but at least that didn't happen with WSOR power by neat NYC signals.

Yes. but it sure had me worried...!! :)
