AAPRCO Train - 2 Views From Yesterday!!!
Author: Amtrak288

What a great day for an amazing train!!!

1. Taken from North Evans, NY on the Nickel Plate. Couldn't have asked for better light!
2. Taken from Letchworth State Park in Portageville, NY on the Southern Tier Line. If only the sun could have been a little further back in the sky, but oh well, we can't control the angle of the sun! It was a great day anyway!

Special thanks to everyone here on TO who kept me and all of us posted on this train's progress. Hope it's another great ride today!

Questions/Comments Welcome.

I agree.

Geno: I think you have a more dramatic picture than if the sun was where you wanted it to be.

Thank you all for the comments! I was surprised there weren't more railfans at that spot than their were. There were a few railfans but none of them posted on boards like this. There was also a couple reporters from a local newspaper in the area and just folks wondering what was going on!

Here's the "back at you" photo from atop the bridge. Looks like we can see where you were positioned to get your great shot.

Thanks for posting!

It won't be traveling on the same route it did eastbound, which includes that spectacular bridge. Westbound, it will be using the route used by Amtrak's LAKE SHORE LIMITED.

Attached are a couple of photos of your vantage point taken from the train. Sorry I didn't have a better lens. Enjoy.
