Another Evening at Norden - a photo on Flickriver

            After leaving Roseville around 4pm, the GSTRFM-17 quickly made its way up the mountain. I caught up with the train at Weimar which would start a chase to Donner Summit. While on the mountain, I found a friend of mine also chasing the train so we planned out where we wanted to get it. We decided to end the chase at Norden, knowing light would be peak there and going any further east was going to be shadowed. After getting to Norden, it wasn’t long before the train showed up and the lighting was exactly as we thought it would be. Even better, we got a very noticeable sun ray coming through the rail cars as the train passed by. Although it’s not very noticeable in the photo, there was still a lot of snow on the mountain, more than what I thought there would be. We both agreed that was the perfect way to end the chase.
