Hi All, First off, do not vote for this. I am not allowed to enter the contest and vote. This was shot in a rain storm on the western side of Soldier Summit, UT at Gilluly Loops on the UP-UTAH mainline of a eastbound empty coal train pulled by 5 Utah RY SD40's heading for the Wildcat Loadout outside of Helper, UT. It was shot using a Sony FD73 set on 10X in a rain storm. No I didn't get wet. Just rolled down the window on the truck . Later, Jim Harrawood
Very nice spot Jim, I wish I lived in that area, But since I don't I'll just have to model it. ------------------ Robert Ray The NP & UP N-Scale Railroad
It's really a bad picture but I didn't get wet or slip and fall in the mud . Jim Harrawood [This message has been edited by slimjim375 (edited 10 May 2000).]
Great pic, Jim. It's fine considering how you went about getting it. Get a good steady pic at 10x zoom ain't easy! Gary.

Hmmm......not too far away from me, and defi- nitely more scenic then the Grand Valley (with the exception of where the track heads up into Debeque Canyon). THIS is the stuff I moved West to see! Please, more pics!!!!! ------------------ Ship IT on the Frisco! Bob T.
