Norfolk Southern H55 at Arden, New York.
NS H55 heads down the former EL at Arden, NY. In years past this was the EL's main freight route, hosting trains such as SF100, Advance NY100 and the high priority UPS trains. Slowly downgraded in importance by Conrail what you see is the one freight the travels the line, usually in darkness as NJT / Metro North West of Hudson service is the major player here, as MNR is leasing the line from NS. A shot I've wanted to get for many years finally presented itself in February of 2021. The Tier was always an enigma for me during Conrail's stewardship. Never in the right place at the right time, or "you should have been here yesterday!". All before the instant information of the various internet groups that we take for granted today. Sometimes you take what you can get.
