Arcadia Morning
One of the classic must do shots in the Shenandoah Valley is Arcadia. The Roanoke District splits a ranch in two at this location, giving a wide open space to photograph the train. The cherry on top here is of course the old N&W CPL style signals that still earn their keep for now. As you can see, shooting at higher elevations this particular morning was a bit dicey, but luckily a patch of sun was following the train as it came into view.
Train: NS 12Z with NS 8012 (ES44AC) and NS 8076 (ES44AC).
