Distributed Power

You have to be patient to capture a train in your camera's viewfinder, but it's pretty much a sure thing to happen at Harpers Ferry. I believe there were maybe 4 or 5 trains that went through here during my couple hours there that day. This train I just barely captured, as I was not close to the rails when I heard it coming. I got back to the station just in time to capture this Distributed Power Unit (DPU) that serves as extra mover power in the middle of a lengthy and/or heavy train.
