Close up |
| Description: |
A close up view of the train pulls in the long string of tanks. Unit trains like this always make for a good tele shot. I need to remember to take the 500mm lens with me for moments like this. |

Oil meets oil |
| Description: |
The northbound has now pulled completely into the siding, and the southbound rolls past the rear of the northbound. Sometimes you go out expecting to chase something, and wind up doing something you had not planned on. This was one of those days. |
