Remarks & Notes

The Envelope Of Light. Amtrak Train 30 (Capitol Limited) crossed the Youghiogheny River in McKeesport, Pennsylvania at a little before 0700 on Sunday, May 22, 2022 with P42DC AMTK 48 leading 5 Superliners. As it turns out, this is exactly the right time for the sun to come up over the horizon and illuminate the entire train on this deck plate girder bridge. A relatively recent construction, this span was built by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in 1967 as part of a project to cease street running in McKeesport.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
