Passenger Trains > Happy Anniversary!

It was 49 degrees this evening, with a wind chill of 47, but I endured the wrath of old man winter to
flash AMTK 161 in its new 50th Anniversary attire on its first trip on #1.
For a change, it was right on time, passing MP25 in Sugar Land, TX at 1930 this evening.

LOL! The light is from 6 speedlites that flash for a fraction of a second.
They're set up about 40' from the train and spread out about 200' along the ROW.
In other words, the light just isn't that bright - 1600 ISO does all of the heavy lifting.

Excellent shot, sir! A friend and I walked out of Tejas Mexican Restuarant in Richmond this evening and caught a glimpse of 161 as it rolled by behind Sonic and Walgreens.

Did you go home and drink hot chocolate by the fireplace to warm up??

47 at this time of year is downright tropical for some of us!

Yeah, our thermometer says 3 degrees this morning... Southerners and their cold "tolerance" are sometimes hysterical...

Joking aside, very nice shot!
