Digging the Archives

Every now and then, something spurs me to look back through for an older photo. This past week, I have no idea why I was in a folder from 2014, but I'm glad I was. My progression through knowledge of both photography and the railroad has come a long way since I first took this image. At the time, I had no idea how lucky I was with the timing of these 2 trains in Lilly, PA. But with a new perspective, I sure am now in 2023, and I am so stoked the modern edit held up so well, as this scene is no longer possible with both motive power, or the signals.
