The one gripe I have about the system is that, despite Amtrak’s excellent online tools for tracking the exact location of trains, there is no good way to getusefultrain status alerts. I often work at a location ~45 minutes outside of DC, so I want to know whether my train is delaye...
I’ve allowed the road to occupy the dominant portion of the frame; yet the train remains the subject. At the time, an Amtrak F40PH with Amfleet was just about as ordinary as it got and I wanted to put the train in its environment to make for a more interesting image. Tracking the ...

We departed on time at 7am. In the lead is Amtrak P42 number 168. It was a strange sensation pausing a Salisbury and passing the Spencer Shops having just spent so much time there. The view from the train always offers a different perspective than being on the ground, or seeing a plac...
Here six main tracks and high voltage overhead make for an impressive right of way. At that time, the New York-PhiladelphiaClockerswere still run with heritage fleet cars, while the AEM7 in the lead was only a few years old. Today, the AEM7 fleet still work for Amtrak, but will soon...

I used Warren as an example for a similar compositional conversation in Trains Magazine, published about two years ago and featured photo of Amtrak’s westward Lake Shore Limited. Yesterday (December 29, 2017), I arrived in Warren just in time to set up and catch CSX’s late-running Q264...
On another day, Irish Rail 204 leads the Platin-Tullamore cement. I was disappointed that an 071 didn’t work the train, but I’m sure glad I made this photo anyway! Tracking the Light Posts Every Day! Share this: Like this:LikeLoading... ...

On Friday, February 7, 2014, my father and I went up to Huntington to catch Amtrak’s westward Lake Shore Limited, train 449. Not far behind was CSX’s Q427. This freight runs daily between Portland, Maine and Selkirk, New York via Ayer and Worcester, Massachusetts. This day it had ...
