Out of the shadows
Title:  Out of the shadows
Description:  The great thing about the short days of fall and winter is the low light, which saturates the colors. The down side is, a lot of shadows you dont get the rest of the year. Southbound Q KCNL rolls out of the trees at a county road crossing that would be fully lit in the summer

Big tree
Title:  Big tree
Description:  I had started out from home when I heard a northbound going into town. I was far enough behind the empty grain train that I did not catch it until Gentry, and I was still halfway back in the train. Holding there was a southbound Q train, which I decided to follow. I caught him at Davidson Rd, passing one of my favorite photo props with 85 freight, 13 articulated auto racks, and 8 stack platforms.
