A little more train
Title:  A little more train
Description:  One of the down sides of a large locomotive conrist is that it detracts from the view of the train in many cases. The six units on this empty oil train dominated the previous photo, and come close here, though I got a little more train in the frawe as it moves through the same scene as in the previous shot.

Perfectly posed
Title:  Perfectly posed
Description:  Not hearing any radio chatter, we went on up to Ginger Blue, planning to get the shot of the northbound here. When we got there, we found this southbound grain move sitting on the Elk River bridge. Couldnt have asked for a better spot. A pair of GEs(what else) leads over a rain swollen river.
