Title:  Red engines in the blue hour
Description:  That last few minutes of the day where dusk is settling in is often referred to as the "blue hour." I caught 557 behind a pair of SDs just at that moment, passing a collapsing barn just east of Waverly. You can feel the cold getting into your bones.
