Afternoon light
Title:  Afternoon light
Description:  I drive past this unit often, and its such a part of the landscape that I dont always pay a lot of attention. I was stalking L 102, the Watts based dodger that works most days to Simmons in Decatur, then turns back south, working Little Debbie in Gentry on the way. The light was gorgeous, so I had to get a photo of the "stuffed and mounted" F 7 while I waited for the local to pass, itself in a red/yellow/black scheme.
