That title best
describes this image of NS's 20E passage through Three Bridges (LEHL MP 48) Main
Street grade crossing around 7:23 on Saturday morning. Thanks to the Internet,
the information posted about 20E indicated it had already passed through
Allentown around 6:30 which made me feel comfortable that there was sufficient
time for my drive from Bridgewater to Three Bridges upon leaving my house at 7
AM. Driving up Route 202, the eight traffic lights I encountered along the way
seemed to work against me by being red as I approached them further slowing my
trip. As I arrived in Three Bridges, off in the distance the sound of a
eastbound train could be heard and shortly thereafter, a headlight could be seen
down the track. It was the 20E coming my way! NS's Southern heritage unit 8099
was the leader followed by UP 6816 and BNSF 4967 on the Chicago to Croxton
intermodal.
