Amtrak 642- Extreme Telephoto
Author: cr2581

About as far as one can push a 200 mm lens with a 1.4 extender ...... interesting to note how the catenary becomes almost symmetrical when compressed.

Location is the long straight stretch between Torresdale and Cornwells Heights, PA.

Enjoy !

What would this six car train be?  I saw the unit on a Keystone yesterday evening but those are normally 5 cars.

Cafe car is 2nd car, 3 rear cars have taller windows, and no baggage car. Must be Pennsylvanian. (Baggage car would mean Palmetto).

Yes.  The tele-extender really makes it interesting.

Usually it would show more imperfections in the track at that zoom level.  Amazingly level track on the NEC!
