Great light
Title:  Great light
Description:  41T rolls its 31 cars through Waverly in golden light. This was normally a mid day train, and is running a little late today, which is working to my advantage, as is the clean CN unit leading, making this shot at the model railroad buildings here look prettier than they really are.

Fields of gold
Title:  Fields of gold
Description:  I went past this spot often, but rarely shot photos here. I loved the way the sun would light up the corn once it had turned brown after the growing season, and thought it would make a great low light photo. The problem was, the light was wrong most of the day, and the corn was this color for a short period. It was a very limited window of opportunity. I got lucky this December afternoon, getting a nicely lit shot of 41T passing MP 244, a mile west of where the twin semaphores once stood.

Favorite spot
Title:  Favorite spot
Description:  Partly because its easy to get to, partly because the backdrop of the buildings is like something youd find on a model layout. The only thing missing is a station, which was over my left shoulder, and wiped out by a derailment here in 1967.

Down the valley
Title:  Down the valley
Description:  41T rolls down the Chemung valley seen from NY 427 just east of Wellsburg. If you shot him at Chemung, you really had to hustle to beat a train here.
