Passenger Trains > Cool runnings on the Corridor /Morrisville & Bristol

Got up nice and early - or, couldn't sleep, so I figured I'd
see what the Corridor looked like in the early morning. First
stop was the Delaware River Bridge connecting Morrisville, PA
with Trenton, NJ. Amtrak traffic seemed relatively few but
was happy to catch a set of former PRR Silverliner IIs'.
Second image, New Jersey Transit double deckers. Last picture,
an Acela by passes by a former PRR station in Bristol, PA.

That first shot is a killer, Mitch.

Cheers,

You've posted many fine photos, Mitch, but that first is my favorite of anything you've done (including steam).

Fantastic images, Mitch... Trenton Makes the World Takes.

"Trenton Makes the World Takes".... Always looks for that when traveling through Newark.... Wish it was still true.

Good shots!!

What's the vantage point for that first one?

First pic train is westward and he's on
the west bank of the river-- what's
reflecting that sunlight onto the NW
side of the train?

The quality of the "winter light" is superb in these pics! Thank you
for posting them. Only the very best oil painters could capture this
elusive light in a painting (as well as your photos do!)

Thank you all for you kind comments - made being
there at 7 AM all the more worthwhile!

The vantage point on the first image is as it
appears, the Morrisville side of the bridge
looking Southeast.

My bet on the reflected light is likely a
reflection from the sun on the other side
bouncing off one of the high rise buildings
back onto the side of the stainless steel
train sides.
