More fall colors

Lanesboro, Pennsylvania is yet another small town in the wilds of northern Pennyslvania. It is known chiefly for being the home of the Starucca Viaduct, a massively high arched bridge built in 1847 by the New York and Erie Railroad, as part of their route to the west. The route - including the bridge - is still in use today.

In the mid 1980s Conrail used the line as a through route between New York City and Buffalo. Fortunately for us photographers, as many as six trains a day would traverse the route during daylight. Besides the bridge, the town had a cemetary, convieniently located adjacent to the tracks.

One picture perfect October day I was out with my buddys getting some fall color shots. While everyone else either went to the bridge or stayed at track level, I moseyed on down to the graveyard. I'd been here before scoping out the scene, but never had managed to catch a train just right, till this day.

Later on when we had a slide show, I got to see saw what the other guys had shot. I liked my scene much better. I went back to this location multiple other times after this, but never got another shot here as nice as this.
