Western Railroad Discussion > I sure could use a train! (vol #27)

I was homeward bound after chasing UP 1982 Mop Heritage all afternoon. But Herington ~ Manhattan via Abilene isn’t exactly the shortest route between 2 points. On the other hand I had a 4 month build-up of unused pixels to burn. Nice pre-sunset color building up, up there! A trio of head-on headlights just rounding the curve behind the tree would have been great. And it would have rolled right through those non-identical twin elevators back there.

But, having ridden this track several between 1978 & 1987 I might have preferred to see a red marker light + 2 white step lights of a Santa Fe waycar receding into that pastel evening sky…

Thanks for the good ol’ college try!

Scenery and sky sure look peaceful.

Very nice!

Nice, Lance! Didn't you post one from here with a train recently?

I like it. Your right, caboose in the distance would be a great way to incorporate a train.
