The shadows are coming back as the Autumnal equinox nears...
Author: Forever-Railfan-45

After dinner this evening, and after starting a new job, got word from Alan that the MGA was leading a 169. Went to CP REED at Perry Avenue in Perry Twp. to nab the 169; first two pictures were from there. Then went to Orrville, Ohio to nab it again there then head for home. Forgot about the shadows now as we are losing three minutes of daylight a day until the Autumnal Equinox is here. Have a nice Tuesday all...

The rate is not 3 minutes per day.  Least at the solstice and greatest at the equinox. Roughly looking like a sin curve.

Thanks for the clarificaiton on the loss of sunlight; I do know the longest day of the year was the summer equinox June 21, 2016. After that day I do know we lose sunlight. Will have to research on how many minutes per day.

After some research we lose one minute every three days; I was misinformed and researched it myself.

That's all?  In one month, that is only 10 minutes.  ??

Canton, Ohio, off of Route 30. IF going west on 30 get off at Raff Road, go right, then left at first light. Next major intersection take a right.  Signals will be to the right.
