Happy Independence Day! Dan  Date: 07/04/22 10:40 Re: Happy July 4th!! Author: Darthsimpletext hopefully my question about trains running on a holiday helped you see 212, looks like a great image
thanks for sharing, have any 4 of july plans? nick Posted from iPhone Date: 07/04/22 10:45 Re: Happy July 4th!! Author: Pattenburg My motivation for Independence Day's trackside trip was the fact that NS 212 would have two UP engines as part of its power consist. Knowing that I headed out to Stanton Station (NJ) where I got it coming east around those photogenic curves. After it passed by, my route home took me past Flemington Junction. 212 had stopped briefly where I was able to catch another photo of those two American flags on the railing of UP 8446, something I didn't notice when it went through Stanton Station. That was a nice extra on this holiday when 'Ol Glory is proudly waving. May it wave on this day and all the days that follow!
