Slice of Light
The only thing moving faster than Norfolk Southern train 15T on this evening was the sun. The Virginian led the freight train out of Allentown in the late afternoon and had a straight shot to Harrisburg. I did the math and figured there'd still be daylight on the Lurgan Branch so off I went to Lemoyne.
I was always bad at math, so I watched each patch of direct light slip away before the train arrived. The only place the sun touched the rails was this little slice off in the distance; luckily it was enough to paint the face of the cab as the train hustled west.
