In reply to Christopher Stephans. The dual modes are problematic, but enable single seat rides between diesel and NY Penn.

Sad that Long Island Rail Road had to cave to politics and order those problematic dual powered locomotives of theirs, rather than just buy GEs.

Great shots. :) That paint scheme works better on the GEs than anything Amtrak has tried.

Great stuff! Of course I miss the Alco RS-3s and the FL-9s. I was lucky enough to be in Peekskill, a few years ago, and saw the retro-painted FL-9 in NYC ‘Lightning Stripes’. Handsome loco, that was.

Great story! The Hudson Line has always been my favorite, especially when I worked for MN.

They are all great but I really love the last shot!

In reply to Jeff Morris.

Thanks, Jeff! The Port Jervis line shots were all from last year, but the rest (except for 3 – the NH genesis at Breakneck, Spuyten Duyvil and Dover Plains sunsets) aren’t super hard to get in a short amount of time on the Hudson and Harlem Lines. Hudson Line is a lot easier… Harlem Line you really have to plan.

This is just breathtaking work – what you do with the sky and the landscape is really, really wonderful.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous photos. How have you managed to be in all those places in just the last few weeks?
