A humble narrator is taking the week off from the usual folderol, and on offer are single shots captured sometime in the last year since relocating from ‘Home Sweet Hell’ back in NYC to Pittsburgh.

Pictured above is a Norfolk Southern Freight Train, moving along the south side of the Monongahela River, with the former Pittsburgh & Lake Erie RR station building in the background.
