James, that shot is so good it looks like it could be a Steinheimer shot. Congrats.

Nice at this late date and no visible ditchlights in the photo as a bonus!  Do I spy an SP bulkhead flat car number 2 in the freight consists?

Cheers, Jim Fitch

Thanks, Dick. I was thinking of his 2-10-2 steam shot at Thistle when I set up for the photo.
