Now Don... are you SURE your camera saw that rock in the lower right hand corner???

;^)

Great shots!

Both shots were taken in the early morning and I know what my eyes saw. The sun only lit up a small area for a few minutes so ya had to get lucky with a train at just the right time. I'm sure that there will be one person on here that will say that this was NOT what I saw. This was over 20 years ago.

That's the most dramatic Cajon tunnel shot I've ever seen.  Love the colors.

Very nice Don.I remember Top Coat Smith documented the daylighting project here on T/O  very well way back then.

thanks for those great images.  #1 sure brings back memories of trips in those tri-clop sd60m's over the hill.........

Don,
Thanks for sharing a pair of ACES!.  The light in both is amazing, especially that second shot.

Great images!

I sure prefer the UP paint scheme with the red sill stripe to its current iteration

The FRA does not share your opinion.

Excellent shots, Don!

Totally agree with this.  AND, you can still do the shot.  But as Don says, it was 20 years ago.  And they are both killer shots.  Thanks for posting.
