I like your photos of the UP 844, especially #1 and #3. The UP would probably love a copy of #1, as they love photos that show the large crowds their magnificent steam locomotives attract. i really liked #3 for the rods-down view. Good work!

Wasn't the weather and sky just wonderful?

Nice shots, still. I like the "near Gorham" - saw from out my window but could never
get far enough ahead to capture it - unless my I-Phone did in fact come through, lol.

Thanks for sharing - I was wondering what the shot from the overpass looked like!!

thanks all. was a weird weather weekend for sure. gray sky, blue sky, cloudy sky....mother nature couldnt make up her mind. its hard enough to shoot black on bright backgrounds as it is. lol I did some heavy processing in most of these. Few I removed people/cars and most of them I removed power lines.
