It was a race of three things: the sun getting high enough in the sky to get above the trees and illuminate the lead unit, a question of if the crew would get there before that, and the clouds rolling in pretty fast and thick from the west. Fortunately, things timed well and the variables aligned for a shot. An SD40-2W had trailed on 330 the night before so we came down to Port Rob early the next day on the slim chance that it would lead 331 out in the morning and this presenting really the only spot to get proper light on the lead of 331 until it's well into its journey. Unfortunately, it trailed in third on 422, but the BCOL unit was a decent consolation prize.
