Country Roads

After a long day of run and gun at work, I decided that some railfan sweelight run and gun was what I needed to unwind on the way home. Norfolk Southern train 38Q was just starting west down the Lurgan Branch, so I headed that way. The short train was moving faster than I could on the country roads, so I headed for a "safe" spot where I knew I could get a decent wedge at a crossing in plenty of time.

As I came over the ridge my windshield was filled with the golden glow of the setting sun, and the lines of the road and power poles yelled at me to just stop right there and shoot. I pulled into someone's driveway as the gates went down and the SD70ACe leader popped out of from behind the barn.
