With the short days of winter and working full-time I rarely get a chance to make it trackside anymore before nightfall, and even more rarely get a decent train the cooperates with my schedule. Fortunately things worked in my favour today and just as I was finishing work I got word of a Union Pacific leading an Eastbound, so after a quick dash home to grab my camera and back to the tracks I set up my shot just barely making it before the train. Talk about luck! The only unfortunate part of the whole situation is the terrible afternoon winter light that is trying its hardest to ruin my shot.
