City of New Orleans At Manchac Pass
On time and with heritage equipment is Amtrak train 58, the City of New Orleans, northbound at the classic Illinois Central location of Manchac Pass. A perfect leader for what was essentially a perfect day out in the New Orleans area. Getting the Amtrak 164 on the point was a great bonus. No pesky lakeside clouds to ruin the shot either. I've shot more trains in this area the past two years than just about anywhere else. It's not hard to see why. This particular afternoon the CN McComb subdivision was humming with traffic. An hour or so after this the following A419 would make a dash across the bridge in the last minute and a half of golden hour sunlight behind a pair of home rails SD70 leaders. We'll take a look at that soon.
Thanks for looking!
