Model Railroader Photo of the Day: Mariner’s Harbor on Staten Island

With the late afternoon sun casting long shadows, Staten Island Rapid Transit S-2 no. 488 pulls a cut of boxcars through Mariner’s Harbor on Staten Island. The remnants of the Lake Avenue passenger platform can be seen behind the switcher. Mark Pitanza of Old Bridge, N.J., took the photo outdoors on an N scale diorama.
