QG 502 is northbound on CPKC's Adirondack Sub in Montreal under a wall of rain with  QGRY 4015, QGRY 3102, QGRY 3539 & QGRY 3538 for power. Even with a raincoat and an umbrella, I still got soaked (in fact I was already calling it a day and walking off when I saw the train come around a corner).

  1. Great photo Mr. Berry! Very dramatic!

  2. Love it!

  3. Very nice.

  4. Sure was a wall of rain. Makes for a really impressive image ! Doesn’t have to be all Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows out there.

  5. Sometimes waiting the extra few minutes does indeed pay off, especially in this shot!

  6. I once was chasing the OBRY and at Forks of the Credit/Cataract area I walked in to the pedestrian bridge only to have the heavens open up… and I had my 50mm lens which provides “some” protection from the rain.. even still, you could not see the train through all the rain it was so hard..

    In the 3 hours I chased, I had sun, storm, crazy rain and clouds, but like a bad snow squall, there is indeed times when you just can’t get a shot anymore.

    It’s rare, so I’m ultra impressed you captured something this dramatic Michael!!!

  7. I agree. I think back at the time the skies opened up when that CN Funeral train came down the Grimsby sub a couple of years back. I’m surprised you stuck it out, Michael; even though I’ve already realized you are a real trooper.

  8. Great shot Michael, this is why one must never give up to rain!

  9. Thanks everyone!
