Comments on: Over the past few years, because of much longer trains there are obviously fewer trains operating. I have tried a few times to get a ‘sunrise’ photo at Paris West. Finally, this morning, I got one. You guys who go out early in the morning know how fast things change. The sun was peeking when the train arrived, and the full ball of glory was above the horizon by the time the train passed. Rolling by was CN 2274, 2538 and a long line of empty autoracks.

Thanks lad. I guess dragging my carcass out of bed that morning was worth it.

“The Early Bird gets the Worm, Arnold. By me reckoning, you must have rolled out of bed shortly after 4am to get this very nice shot – that’s a little too early for me. John

Thanks, guys, for the positive comments.
I have to say it was a LUCKY morning to be trackside considering this type of shot is what I set out for.

Thanks, lad. It is almost as nice to be somewhere quiet for sunrise than it is to beat the weekend traffic.
