    Hello Again-

    When I was on my home after a full day of chasing, I stopped off in Arvada, CO to wait for an eastbound coal train leaving Leyden (on UP's Moffat Tunnel Sub). It is definitely September! It was just a few minutes after 6 o'clock in the evening and the sun was getting very low in the western sky.

    As I was waiting for the train to show up, I just happened to notice that the rail closest to me was the same age as me! Made at CF&I (Colorado Fuel & Iron) in Pueblo, CO in 1979. So, I grabbed a shot of the rail with the train approaching in the distance. The second shot shows the train - headed for Illinois - with its two UP AC4400CWs on the point.

    Hope you like um'! :tb-biggrin:

    Excellent use of the late evening light. I especially like the second one.
