Local going away
Title:  Local going away
Description:  I had followed the southbound H train to Watts, and it was working the yard while the dodger got his train together. When he was ready, off he went. I was not in position to get him passing the DPU on the road train, but was able to get this shot from adjacent US 59 of the train and all five cars rolling north. Its a matter of seconds!!
