First train
Title:  First train
Description:  My wife got me a Canon T8i for Christmas, to replace a failing T1i-its a dozen years old, and probably obsolete by now(unlike my Nikkormats, which are 60 years old, and still work just fine. Too bad no more Kodachrome). So I took it out hoping to catch something, usually theres a southbound Q train in the afternoon. The Q train never materialized, but this empty grain train finally did, just as the light was going. I caught it at Y City Rd in Decatur, with enough sun to get some glint. So, this is my first train shot with the new camera. Looks like it performed well in iffy conditions. A trio of diesels, including an NS GE, roll 105 cars north
