I knew I was way ahead of PO-74 when I arrived in Pocono Summit on 10/28 so I hiked the short walk up to the lake (staying well clear of the ROW). I had heard that it was easy to walk along the lake bank there, but I think recent rains had made that perch more than soggy and even pretty deeply in the woods I was doing my best not to step in six-inch deep water. Still, I managed to clear away some branches to give me a great view, but that also let me see that the railhead shadow was along the side of the rail (meaning I was all setup for an ugly high-sun shot). So after all my gardening (or foresting) I made my way back to a spot for a nose-on shot as the sun demanded. Actually ended up pretty happy wit those.
I made a disasterous error next when I decided based on the consist that the train wasn't going farther than Pocono Summit. Later I learned not only did they go to Cresco, but all the way to Slateford Jct. Oh well. Next time.
