Tom Beckett	General	What a cool shot!! I've been taking train photos since the 1970's, and that's fun; it's good to keep in mind other aapects, no pun intended, of railroading, and signalling is a big one. I grew up in NY City, on the Long Island RR, which had-and still has, though not as much now-Pennsy position lights. I tried to get them in my photos when it worked, and looking back, really wish I'd done more with them, such as shoot the sequence when two trains close together passed an operator controlled signal. Really cool to watch the changes as the first train moved away. So this is a cool shot. Home page 06-09-2025	6/9/2025 4:50:24 AM

UP 5173 continues to wait on the main.
A clear signal through the siding activates just as a northbound train (not pictured) is approaching.
