During the early morning hours of September 5th, 2024, The Metro North/ Department of Transportation Geometry Train, with CTDOT/CTrail Brookville BL20GHM 129 leading, prepares to head east from South Norwalk, Connecticut up the Danbury Branch. The train traversed all of Metro-North's mainline track while the the Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) former Metroliner DOTX 216 inspection railcar, collects geometry data reports for the FRA and US Department of Transportation.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
