The joys of working the night shift. I was lucky that my old company basically backed onto CN’s Halton subdivision. I often bought my camera with me no matter what shift I was on and this night proved to be a good night to have it with me. I noticed heavily patches of low fog after finishing my shift and headed over to Mansewood after I noticed CN lining up a meet. The fog managed to block out most of the distant industrial lighting but also helped with the ambient lighting. Soon an eastbound pulled into the siding and I was able to frame this just before they turned off their ditch lights and prepared to meet a westbound. I’ve always enjoyed photography under foggy conditions no matter the time of day.

    Marcus, a beautiful shot. The US&S H2 searchlights sure cuts a nice beam through the fog. Hopefully the signal upgraded to “Clear” before the westbound arrived.
