    What was your time of day? Do recall the length of the exposures?

    Great work.

    The 18mm view was f/3.5 60 sec, prolly ISO 100. The 14mm was ISO 1000, 8 sec, f/2.8. Both shots were 2300-0300 or so. Definitely middle of the night.

    Beautiful format. What railroad is #852, to the right of 7436? It looks like a wide body, but the striping confuses me. So does the weird antenna.

    Thats an F59 of Metrolink, or "SoCal Regional Rail Authority". Thats the station, and thats a light standard you see above the cab.

    Westbound Grand Forks-Pasco high-priority manifest tonnage rolls past Lonetree elevator. The head end shot did not turn out, but a friend's flash unit caused this neat freezing effect on the time exposure.
