Bill Linson’s Favorite Railfanning Photos, Part 2

UP’s classic Challenger 3985 returns to Wyoming, crossing the Meramec River at Sherman Beach just east of Eureka, Missouri.

At the top of the world-famous Horseshoe Curve in Pennsylvania.

Amtrak’s Capitol Limited speeds toward Washington, D.C. along Mance Curve on the old B&O line west of Cumberland, Maryland. This is just east of railfan favorite Sand Patch.

Stopping at the “Bud Board” just before entering Cumberland, Maryland yard limits.

Taken at Attica, Indiana, my hometown. This is now Norfolk Southern rails, formerly the Wabash between Detroit and St. Louis.

Splitting the signals at Cresson, Pennsylvania.

Leaving Chicago on a private car rail trip to Washington, D.C., sponsored by the St. Louis Chapter of the National Rail Historical Society.

Leaving Washington, D.C. on the private rail car trip; see the faint image of the nation’s capitol in the background.

UP’s Challenger comes calling, this photo taken at Dozier Crossing east of Pacific, Missouri.

Just west of the historic Kirkwood Station.

Between Cresson and Gallitzin, Pennsylvania.

Just west of Altoona, Pennsylvania; this is the shot I always use to end any slide shows I present.
