Standard cabs in the snow…or 6 trains at New Galilee in half-n-hour

     I have to admit, I'm not one for shooting many trains in the snow.  I mean when it's snowing...I mean when the sun isn't out.  I mean everyone loves snow and sun, but how often is that.  Then again it's very rare to get snowflakes flying when the sun is out.  Ok, you know what I mean.  So in the spirit of the season (and with my new found friend…photoshop), I decided to make up for an aspect that is very lacking in my photos…snowing action shots.

     So on the way back from errands to Grove City Outlets, Cranberry and Ross Park Mall, I decide to pull over at good old New Galilee.  On the way back I see 11V-15 crawling by CP-Wood, yep, it will be easy beating him there.  A quick check with Eric, shows some east bounds in the picture.  So I set up for the first EB, oops 11V is already here.  No time to get the camera, iPhone video will have to do…a few seconds later  a late 26T-15 goes blasting by too.  Within 10 minutes, chatter around Enon, alerts me to another EB…but not before I61-16 approaches with a string of road railers.  Ok, time for the real video camera.  Within a minute 20R-15 rolls by the other way.

   

     Not long till I hear another EB by Enon.  So I get ready…only to be interrupted by another WB.  Soon 25Z-15 blasts by just as I'm ready to see the EB, but alas, he clears as I rush to the other side of the tracks to shoot 421-13 with a pair of SD40Es leading a wide cab.

        Not bad for 30 minutes…of course after I leave 64R-15 is pulling by Enon…oh well.
