\"\"Wednesday I managed to get out of work at a normal hour, and headed to Bound Brook for a little shooting. \u00a0I figured I’d get something in before heading to the hotel for the night. \u00a0Oh, how I was wrong there…Not wrong in how I’d catch something – but wrong about heading back to the hotel for the night. \u00a0After hanging around Bound Brook for a while and only catching one NS eastbound freight, I headed out to get a bite to eat for dinner. \u00a0While eating I had the idea to head down to Hopewell, NJ and see if I could do some night shots at the old station, which is located on CSX’s Trenton Line (I would have probably never known about this spot, but I recently saw some nice shots there on Andrew Blaszczyk’s blog here<\/a>). \u00a0So after eating, I got back in the truck and made my way down to Hopewell.<\/p>\n

When I got there, I thought all hope was lost – as I pulled into the station, a westbound was just coming into view – no way I’d be able to set up in time. \u00a0So I just enjoyed the train’s passing. \u00a0Then I waited – and waited. \u00a0And again waited some more. \u00a0Then I gave up, packed everything up, and started back home the way I came. \u00a0But as I crossed the tracks west of the station, I glanced back east, and saw something odd – a green signal! \u00a0OK, something was heading this way!<\/p>\n

After setting back up, Q174 came rolling by the station, and I got one shot of them. \u00a0At that point, I called it a night – figured it was a success.<\/p>\n[cpg_album:795]\n

Thanks for looking!
