International Railroad Discussion > "Thunderstruck Luck"Date: 12/23/19 17:22 "Thunderstruck Luck" Author: aussiehinz In May, 2002, good Australian buddy Keith Gillett and I were off on a long weekend journey texploring the island state of Tasmania. As we were driving from Launceston toward Hobart, we got into a violent thunderstorm. It rained like blazes on us, to the point we had to stop the car to wait it out for a bit. Approaching the small town of Campania, the rain eased off, and to my surprise, I could see that we had suddenly caught up with a slow moving Hobart bound container train paralleling the highway. As the storm passed, a very well defined storm front line with clear, blue skies beyond it to the west appeared to be only a few kms ahead of us, and we began to look for a side road to hopefully intercept the train just as the light changed from stormy to sunshine. With a whole lot of luck and good fortune, we succeeded. It was, by far, the best photo I obtained on the entire trip. Near Campania, Tasmania, May, 2002.
