Now he shows
Title:  Now he shows
Description:  After the light is gone. The northbound M train that the southbound oil train was waiting for showed about 15 minutes too late to get any sun on it. Hes approaching the SR 51 crossing in a lot of clutter

Late day sun
Title:  Late day sun
Description:  Now that were into November, the shadows come early. In July, this is an easy, well lit shot. Now I have to play with the light. The southbound rolls on, near MP 239, along US 59.

Favorite spot
Title:  Favorite spot
Description:  One of several spots I like to shoot is just south of the intersection of US 59 and Chewie Rd, where theres a nice S curve on both the road and railroad. This shot was opened up when US 59 was widened to four lanes a few years back-like about 7 now. Its a good shot of the train coming around the curve, but as youll see in the next few shots, its starting to get overgrown.

Shrubbery
Title:  Shrubbery
Description:  As I mentioned, the bushes are starting to grow up next to the track. Maybe I need to come out with a saw....How long til the train is totally obscured once more here??

Nose on
Title:  Nose on
Description:  I try not to do the standard 3/4 wedge at the crossing shot; its not all that imaginitive. It does, with good lighting, work quite well, though. The speed restriction coming out of MP 239 is a godsend for a chaser-as is the 65 MPH speed limit on the highway-and this was an easy shot to get.

Past the mill
Title:  Past the mill
Description:  This used to be a Hudson Foods facility, where feed was processed. Hudson years ago went into Tyson, but the mill is still active. It makes a good photo prop for a train coming past, as we see here with the 262.

Downtown
Title:  Downtown
Description:  I dont usually do this shot; there are much more scenic views north of town. But its occasionally good to get a shot of the local scene. In this case, its the Langley feed mill, whose silos are just to the right of the train and its 75 cars.
