"Are you feeling lucky?" ......Mance, PA
Author: cinder

The late afternoon sweet light is upon the mountain....The radio crackles to life.  "CSX Q---, west on 1, clear Philson....then CSX N---, east on 2, clear Sand Patch."  Hmmmmm, perhaps a meet at Mance is in order.  So, it is up to the late afternoon overlook to wait and hope.  Both trains are more than three miles away.

I share my delight here on TO.  The westbound manifest meets the eastbound coal train nearly perfectly  with the flat car of plate steel exposing the former Mance Post Office as a bonus.  May 22.

Awesome shot! I also like the logo on the covered hopper behind the power.

Great shot and no evidence of wretched "taggers".   Many kudos..........Duane

Is this a site that is readily easy to find and access? I've seen a number of shots from there recently and it seems to be an excellent spot.
