The Real Terminator
Right in Two
...of course, a chase of the aforementioned shuttle ensued. In between shots are still in the works, but the one other location I knew I wanted was at the station at Beverly Shores. This is my personal favorite location on the whole railroad, but that's definitely not saying anything special - everyone loves the vintage station here. While I initially planned on getting a more simple shot of them passing the station, something was just telling me to pass it up. So, into the station I went.
Here we are, taking a peer out of the window to see not only the shuttle, but a glimpse at some early construction of the Double Tracking project as well. A relatively recently placed silt fence takes up much the foreground, while the train is bracketed by two recently erected poles that will support the overhead electric for the second main.
It's no secret I like to avoid crowds, and as this train was nearing, a look outside revealed a rather large group of folks that were following this move themselves, much to my surprise. No one went into the station though, so I was in and out without a trace. BUT as my luck would have it, trying to continue the chase would be halted as I was the one person with a camera that a passerby could stop and ask why everyone was out taking pictures of this train. GO figure. I was still happy to nab them where I did though!
