Those iconic Hershey plant smokestacks ...

(Train sightings on 2-10-13.)

... have always been a favorite photo prop that I like working into the scene when I am track side in Hershey (PA). With the town's name on those two smokestacks, there is no mistaking where this photo was taken at. NS 5662 (GP38-2; ex-PC 7726 & ex-CR 7726) is seen heading west with six cars in tow and ex-CR caboose 21257 on February 10th. The train's symbol was H2A and is sometimes referred to as "the Hershey Shifter".
