Glory Days

I detailed the other night the saga leading up to this moment, a photo which I badly wanted. After building their train, CSX L245 throttled up to head to Hopewell, Virginia in gorgeous late evening light. The 2 vintage EMDs put on an unbelievable show, prime movers thundering getting the heavy train rolling out of Collier Yard. I was not around to photograph the Glory Days when this power ruled the rails, so I do my best to seek it out and shoot it whenever I can, because I appreciate that it will not be around forever. Both of these engines in this photo are pretty rare for a class-1, a former Reading GP39-2, and a former Penn Central Geep in YN2.
