Another train.
Apr. 29th, 2011 06:28 pmThis time an EB NJ Transit MU set.
A couple of minutes after the Acela went past a New Jersey Transit MU set passed by on track 1, doing about 80.
Note that I didn't know it was there until the engineer blew his horn, as I was facing away from him, waiting for a westbound train to get closer.
I wasn't fouling the track, but he wanted to let me know he was there. Even when you are attuned and alert for trains, these electrics can and will sneak up on you. They are deadly quiet.
