Acela Express zoom pan through Bristol at 1/15th
Author: Mgoldman

AMTK No. 2019 leads an Acela Express westbound through Bristol, PA back on January 5th, 2025.

Captured in a "zoom pan" at 1/15th, hand held.  The Delaware River Turnpike Bridge serves as back
drop behind the signal bridge.  The engineer recognized himself in the shot and I was happy to offer
him a high resolution shot  : )

I assume that's a signal bridge though no signals remain.  There is a functioning signal bridge just ahead,
past the station.

If you're at the Bristol station and the signal bridge is here

then signals 662 and 663 were removed 1940.

Really   nice.    MAYBE  this  month  a  couple  of  the  new  sets  go into  service  and  you  will  have even longer  trains  to photograph.
And  more  capacity  for passengers!!

Appreciate the rear unit number - was expecting your
update!  As Timz's as well - interesting details, and a
surprising number of signal bridges in that area.  Was
it one being replaced with another, or just some being
removed, I wonder.

Wow! I've seen lots of attempts at shots like this on the NEC, but none have been as successful as this. Bravo!
