Hi, Jim Kleeman and I spent a very enjoyable day photographing the East Penn Railroad and Amtrak. We started at the East Penn Railroad headquarters in Kennett Square, PA where we learned the train, which was sitting in front of the building, would be heading west to Nottingham, PA.
Our first stop was at Toughkenamon, PA.
While the crew switched in Avalon, PA we went continued to Lake Road where we encountered Rich Jahn. I really enjoyed the opportunity to get to talk to him for the first time.
Our next stop was West Grove, PA (above and below). Rich was there ahead of us as we spent some time looking around. The train had stopped to work another industry so we had plenty of time.
Then it was on to Kelton, PA (above and below) where once again we met up with Rich.
At Elkview Trestle Rich flew his drone and Jim walked in to a more open shot.
Jim and I easily beat the train to Oxford, PA where the crew switched (above and 3 below) and where we had one final opportunity to visit with Rich.
We found a spot with clear view of the track west of Oxford, PA.
We got our final East Penn shot as the Train entered Nottingham, PA. We knew the train would spend some time switching and that either the light would be strongly from the west, not very good for an eastbound train, or gone. Therefore we decided to head for Havre de Grace, MD for the rest of the short day.
The first and last photos in this series at Havre de Gras were taken from the boat landing just down stream from the bridge.
