Passenger Trains > When You Don't Plan Ahead......Date: 08/11/19 07:20 When You Don't Plan Ahead...... Author: twjurgens ....your going away shot looks like the 3rd one in this thread.
Flooding in the western portion of the California Zephyr's eastbound journey caused an 8 hour delay in the train's arrival at Lincoln, NE. TO'er scotty and I headed southwest out of Lincoln to intercept 6 at a location I've shot Amtrak at only once before. The wet spring and summer has produced some tall weeds here so a little weed control was needed to clear the way for the oncoming shots. Had I glanced over my shoulder, it would have been apparent that the going away shot was blocked by a small tree! (that tree wasn't that tall last time I was here, guess it likes the rain too!) Amtrak's 46 and 27 were doing the honors at Wittstruck Road, just north of Berks 8-10-2019. Date: 08/11/19 10:02 Re: When You Don't Plan Ahead...... Author: wpjones But Tom we all know you like trees in your photos.
HA! Steve Date: 08/11/19 10:20 Re: When You Don't Plan Ahead...... Author: twjurgens You're right! Probably should've taken 2 or 3 steps to my left before snapping the shutter.....but, there would have been a 5 foot drop off. (geezers don't like falling....too brittle)
