Eastern Railroad Discussion > PRR heritage unit leading 22V was worth the wait!

Saturday's wait of four hours was worth it for me in taking this photo for me. Many a time I have hoped that I can get a photo of the 22V with all of those colorful COFCs taking MAIN 1, the former Royce Running Track, in Hillsborough (NJ). Today my pre-visualization of this scene came to be reality. Getting a text  around 8:15AM saying that the PRR heritage unit was leading 22V I could only hope that scenario would materialize today. With the signal at CP SULLY indicating 22V would take the siding I headed down to the Roycefield Road grade crossing and waited. Around 12:20 a headlight appeared in the distance signaling its approach. Being an overcast day that even contributed to this scene. If the sun was out that would have meant I would be shooting into the sun. All in all despite being an overcast day I think this turned out to be alright. Patience is definitely something that is developed with doing trackside photography.

In the digital age we don't necessarily have to have sun, thanks for sharing
