Picture 5 is at the same spot in vera cruz, just shooting at a different angle

If you are going to take pictures here at this spot be sure to ask permission to shoot pictures here for this is private property, but the owners are very nice and also like trains and work for a railroad.

Picture 6 is at the same location as the shot with the train going over the bridge in picture 4, this is just shooting at a different angle

Great Pictures RDG T-1.
It is always neat to see "VERACRUZADER" in action. I was down sunday and I didn't get the great shots you did. Really nice job.
Jim

these shots were from sunday, my saturday shots weren't so good on a count of the sunlight

Sometimes I wish I still had a place in Berks County. Years ago I lived next to the Hull St. grade crossing in Sinking Spring. Even though I love the mountains, I still miss the trains. These days, it's a 20 mile drive to the CSX or the NS.
