For many years I have had the thought that it would be interesting to spend the first day of summer track side from sunup to sunset.
Yesterday Kevin (railcop) and I did just that at Rochester, Pa. Here are some of the pictures.
It started off with turning the camera on and finding out all the settings were gone, so I got everything back to normal except the time on the picture. This was the first train we saw, an eastbound about 5:48 AM just a couple minutes after sunrise with the light still pretty low.
Westbound NS 2519 appeared at 6:29
At 6:48 eastbound 9930 went by.
At 7:02 we had another westbound, 8387. folks started parking along the tracks(where they were trespassing) so we moved to the other side of the tracks, which actually made us a little more out of the way. Then at 8:02 eastbound 7688 appeared.
