Remarks & Notes

Until the end of steam in 1987, the overnight passenger train on the Bethlehem line was pulled by 25NC 4-8-4's. Twenty years later we witnessed a perfect recreation of this 12 car train, passing Mt. Morkel.

Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
