RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.
Tough decision this one. Several I really like, so it ended up a bit of a toss up. Went with Mathieu Tremblay's shot.

zardoz oltmannd I tried to get this one in. Failed at least in part because it's a scan and they don't do scans... They'll accept scans for this contest; they just don't like them for publication in the magazine. BTW, cool pic!

"While a mechanical engineering student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an active member of the model railroad club there, several of us would make an annual weekend trek down to the Horseshoe Curve to see the mountain railroading show. Penn Central, and later, early Conrail were not exactly “railfan magnets” with their shabby black paint, particularly compared to the nearby D&H of that era, but you couldn’t beat the action at “The Curve”. This shot was from our first trip in 1975. Amtrak’s “bloody nose red” scheme was not likely to be confused with the steady parade of black and white. Here is the Kansas City to New York National Limited on a fall morning with its red-nosed SDP40F, headed downhill just past the apex of the curve bound for Altoona and points east."
