The one and only
Title:  The one and only
Description:  The one and only WM road power I was ever able to get a shot of was rolling past one of the parking lots at Niagara Falls when I was there for a more tourist oriented visit. The traffic was impossible, as it usually is in the summer, and I didn't know the roads or the railroads well enough to chase. This grab shot is the best I'll ever have of one of the more enigmatic eastern roads.

WM 3799
Title:  WM 3799
Description:  There's a rail line thar runs past the parking lot on the Canadian side of the falls. As I was walking back to the car, I heard a train, looked up and to my surprise there was a WM unit leading. I was not able to chase-congestion getting out of the parking area was just impossible, but did get this grab shot of the one and only WM road unit I was ever able to shoot.
