Western Railroad Discussion > Homeland SafariDate: 09/19/14 23:10 Homeland Safari Author: SD45X Been saving up!! Anyhow, think I got the camera figured out. Some results from south eastern Colorado..
End of August had the V&S rail train parked near Adobe Wells siding west of Arlington CO. HDR images. Then, earlier this week my wife left me...... So I went after some fresh paint. Had all the stars line up just right. Two new ACes depart Las Animas Jct under cool skies...    Date: 09/19/14 23:20 Re: Homeland Safari Author: SD45X Heading south at MP 229 at 15mph.
Couple days later I headed west to Pueblo for a couple more ACes. Pair of CREX units lead a Amarillo load south(east) at Rocky Ford,CO. Little farther west a surprise UP train at NA Jct. Cement I think.    Date: 09/19/14 23:28 Re: Homeland Safari Author: SD45X I set up camp a little south of Crews on the old ATSF flyover and waited.
DP going away northbound. Load south. Quick hustle and the DP going south looking down the old ROW    Date: 09/19/14 23:29 Re: Homeland Safari Author: theironhorse Yup. That'll do!
The Iron Horse Date: 09/19/14 23:34 Re: Homeland Safari Author: SD45X Looking towards Fountain,CO.
Right behind was the HDENBEL. Finally, with only three minutes of light, they show up...    Date: 09/19/14 23:41 Re: Homeland Safari Author: SD45X After the sun set at Nixon.
Went to see the November Man in Pueblo, and when I got home they were parked. Next morning another pair!!    Date: 09/19/14 23:47 Re: Homeland Safari Author: SD45X Leaving LaJunta
Late #3 at Hadley (east of Casa) Then the ACes.    Date: 09/19/14 23:54 Re: Homeland Safari Author: SD45X As they were held up by #3, the light went south in a hurry. Best I could do for sun angle was the cut at MP188.
I headed home to find this Motly Crue.... And behind that was another ACe!! Charging uphill at MP229    Date: 09/20/14 00:02 Re: Homeland Safari Author: SD45X Heading home the Holcomb empty came flying by at Hadley.
This morning found a few reefers in town. This one caught my eye. Parked westbound..    Date: 09/20/14 00:13 Re: Homeland Safari Author: The_Chief_Way nice stuff ! liked the shot at the flyover
Date: 09/20/14 00:22 Re: Homeland Safari Author: SD45X And another CREX comes blasting into LaJunta.
Farther north the V&S drags their threader east to Adobe Creek siding. And on the Twin Peaks sub nearing Beshoar, Two of the three new ACes that were on it make it to Trinidad,CO. Edited 1 time(s).

The Iron Horse Date: 09/20/14 00:35 Re: Homeland Safari Author: SD45X Rainbow parked at Barela.
Empty climbing out of Barela in last light.    Date: 09/20/14 00:46 Re: Homeland Safari Author: SD45X The DP rides off into the sunset.
I headed east, and caught a late #4 at West Simpson. At home, somebody didn't understand the pole meant end of street. Wife comes home maybe today. It was just a doctor appointment:)    Date: 09/20/14 01:06 Re: Homeland Safari Author: mojaveflyer Wow, great stuff! The shot of Amtrak is phenomenal! Nice work! What settings did you use for the Amtrak shot after sunset?

~Ryan Date: 09/20/14 09:11 Re: Homeland Safari Author: Ritzville Great pictures with lots of variety! Lots of nice new BNSF power that I haven't seen in Washington yet, except for the 8400's.
Larry Date: 09/20/14 11:08 Re: Homeland Safari Author: oilcan Looks like you're getting the hang of your new Canon just fine. Great series, especially with that evening shot of Amtrak which is stellar! Thanks for sharing.
