Action on the Hack River bridge  Contributor's Pick!       
The PATH train from Jersey City to Newark sometimes yielded some good photo ops, if the timing was right. This time I got a train on the P&H line behind a set of SD40-2s, the lead unit one of the newest on the CR roster at the time, and the 5th from last such unit CR would acquire, the final SD40-2 being 6524. If only the PATH train had been a split second faster, the catenary support would not have cut off the pilot of the lead unit. Close but no cigar!!
