Red Wing Ghost
This 261 train was my primary target on this evening. However, I ensured to get the one ahead of him too, which turned out to be a ballast train with a MAC Belle (see "Flying West" in photostream). With the encroaching shadows eating up comps rapidly, I thought to try down by the depot, but rail cars pulled up tight to the crossing nixed that. So I reverted to this dark side shot from the newish pedestrian bridge on the west side of town. The sun was just low enough to get full nose light underneath the bridge for the ghost.
