Amtrak 449 at Chatham Center, NY
I don't always shoot trains on weekends, but when I do, it often involves some "politicking" with the family. Earlier this afternoon, I was hiking over at Five Rivers in New Scotland with my wife and my son, knowing that later in the afternoon Amtrak 108 would be leading Train 449 within striking distance. Once our son seemed to be getting pretty tuckered out, rather than heading for home I convinced my wife that we could head back across the Hudson River to Chatham, grab some ice cream at Dairy Queen, I could get a couple shots of 449, and we still get home in time for our son's usual bedtime routine. Though 449 ran about 15 minutes late today, overall my plan went smoothly and resulted in a shot at State Line, as well as this shot at Chatham Center.
