Not a bad morning in Manville

Received via email

As I was hoping to photograph the NS's CNJ heritage unit leading intermodal 20E on this sun filled morning. First train through was what I thought was NS's 212 having NS 7670, NS 8095 and NS 7680 as its power consist and passing by around 8:11 AM. It would be about another hour before the CNJ's headlight appeared in the distance. Leading was NS 1071 followed by NS 2503 and NS 1010. Unfortunately for me some clouds partially obscured the sun as the train passed by and effectively reduced illuminating the scene. Of the two images one has to admit that the image of 212 is a much more pleasing photo due to more sunshine than the 20E, wouldn't you agree?
