Wine, Not Whine

            Going back though the archives, I found this nice little surprise from December 18, 2013.  I had gone out to catch Amtrak 42, the Salute Our Veterans unit, on the point of the westbound Southwest Chief, and the timing of which would have put it in gorgeous golden light.  Unfortunately, it ran a little behind, and did not hit Somonauk until just after the sun dipped below the horizon. Unlike others I have encountered, I did not pack up when I lost my light and still took the shot.  I had not been waiting in the cold for nearly 30 minutes just to sulk my way home.  My consolation prize was CSX 342 tied down in the usual holding place (see previous photo).  And the Chief even had a nice private car on in for the going-away shot.
