Sweet Chicago scene!

Awesome lunar!

Image of the day, if you ask me.

I will 2nd that! IOTD

Great picture, Bob.  Though unfortunately without the sharpness of your picture, here's the moon appearing to be a UPRR "Restricting" signal indication at CP VP647 in Eugene, Oregon in front of Amtrak train 507.  Somehow I don't think that the dispatcher or the resulting investigation squad would accept my plea of "I had a lunar signal" if I acted upon it.  It's appearing directly above a vertical post of the steel framework mounted on the cantilever signal just as though it was actually mounted on a signal post as are the "Stop" signal indications for the main line to the left of it and the siding to the right.

Very nice and cool it shows up at the right place.!! There are all these programs to tell you where the moon will be and here is shows right up in front of you.

Thanks!  Bob
