Early in the morning
Title:  Early in the morning
Description:  I was out before daybreak on my day off-I worked nights and Id typically get done around 0100, go home, have dinner, watch TV, then head out to whatever train watching spot I had targeted. Today its Wakefield in the Bronx to catch the morning rush action. I got there before the sun was high enough to get good light, but shot photos anyway. Heres a set of ex NYC MUs rolling toward Grand Central on the Harlem Line.
