Through the car window
Title:  Through the car window
Description:  I was able to catch the rear end of the train at Westville, but not without some anxiety. Halfway from US 59 to the tracks, I caught up to a school bus, who was not in any hurry to get down the road, nor was the pick up behind him. I was able to get a shot of the surprise, a Progress Rail SD 70AH T4 demonstrator.
