Growing corn quickly tends to block the railroad tracks - and roads - from view. It's fast growing stuff, as just two weeks after I snapped this, the tops of the corn crop were covering up much of the wheels on passing trains. Even higher now, too! There were a few spots I would have liked to get a good distant field shot with crops growing, rather than just drab brown after harvest, but that'll have to wait till next year.
NS255 came rocketing through Sadorus after its brief slow order across the CN diamond back in Tolono. We only beat it here from Homer because of that slow order - it's tough to chase anything on the Lafy, but the RoadRailer is notoriously hard to catch up to. You really can only do so much and have to hope for some other reason for them to slow down. We were cutting it close with our daylight and cloud cover, too. 255 had been pretty late this day, so we lost our nice golden light. A bit moody of a view instead, works for me anyway.
