Rage against the dying of the light
Title:  Rage against the dying of the light
Description:  Going away shot of the DPU on this southbound grain train as the last light fades. I had spent most of the day outside puttering around the house with various small projects, and heard nothing all day. Just as the light goes, I catch this guy. KCS ran another half dozen trains over the next three hours. Timing is everything.

A little more train
Title:  A little more train
Description:  One of the down sides of a large locomotive consist 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 frame as it moves through the same scene as in the previous shot.
