Amtrak's NexGen makes an early evening appearance at Tacony
Author: Mgoldman

A nice surprise at Tacony, in northeast Philly the other day, when an apparent equipment move 
saw an unscheduled eastbound NexGen Acela pass through the Tacony section of Philadelphia 
as the Sun began its quick drop to the horizon:

And is followed by 2253, a 51 minute late NexGen led by AMTK No. 2133, "westbound" to Philly, and points south:

Outstanding as always, Mitch. Your mastery of NEC sunset and glint under wire is always a feast for the eyes.

While I'm not a huge fan of these new Acela's, I will admit, they
photograph remarkably well in low light/near darkness.  You seem
to have mastered the ability to capture these and all things NEC
in low light situations.
