DPUs glint in the sun
Title:  DPUs glint in the sun
Description:  The sun angle is all wrong, but it does give me a glint shot as the DPUs on this southbound AEPX train roll away from me.

DPUs
Title:  DPUs
Description:  I didnt get a good set up for this shot, as I was standing on the base for the light pole next to the parking lot, and was about to jump when I realized the DPU was coming up on me. So were a little cockeyed here. The DPUs are still doing their job, though, regardless of my orientation.

Morning shot
Title:  Morning shot
Description:  Gravette can be a challenge to shoot in, since the angle is sometimes difficult. This morning shot is fairly wide open and unobstructed, though the leader is nose dark. All in all, an OK view, and you can get right back rolling if youre chasing.
