Passenger Trains > Some More Fun With SEPTA 280

I certainly didn't anticipate chasing a SEPTA MU around in the spring of 2024, 
but with SEPTA jumping into the Heritage game, here we are.  Three more recent images of the 280.
Now I just need to get this thing along the old Reading stations that still stand along SEPTA.  Rumor
is that the Penn Central is next out, we'll see.

1) Siting in the evening at Chestnut Hill East (lighting assistance from Michael T. Burkhart and John Gabriel)
2) Reading on the Pennsy.  Under the signal bridge at Holmesburg Station, along the NEC.
3) rounding the corner approaching Torresdale Station, along the NEC.

Enjoy,

Nice shots  The Torresdale curve is very impressive.  I assume you used a fairly long lens.

The first one is very impresive.  What did you use to get that flair around the lights?

Camera settings were:
Shutter 2 sec
F-Stop 11.0
ISO:400

Front of the engine was pretty dark, so we "painted" it with some high output
LED lights.  It's kind of funny that there were 3 of us there, with a total of 10
Allien Bee Strobes owned between us, and not one was to be had.

John,
Who would ever have thought! Too bad Rich Pattison isn't around to see this! Rich was probably the most avid Septa fan out there ten years ago.
I have some old Septa Timetables that have that "face" on them.
