After waiting quite a while for UP 5539 to show from Wolverton, the lead engine turned out to be a little disappointing. A badly faded and single UP 5539 was leading the 6000 foot ethanol train eastbound across Victoria Road, so as is often the case, I was hoping for a descent DPU. I was shooting from in the field for a better sun angle for an eastbound, so after a near 50 yard sprint across the field, I made it to this location for a better sun angle, and a nice clean, bright UP 6563 was doing the pushing. Got lucky!!
