Barstow, California
Back on July, 2, 2013, I was given a heads up that NS' CNJ heritage unit would be coming into California for the first time, roughly around 2AM but wouldn't make it into the Los Angeles basin. So I made the 2 hour trip to Barstow to hopefully get a somewhat decent shot, if the conditions were right. Unfortunately, around this same time, I had already noticed dead pixels (white dots in photo) when I'd taken previous night shots and knew the photos would suffer because of this, and was already setting money aside to buy another body; but hey, it's a NS heritage unit so off I went anyway.
With the shimmering lights of Barstow off in the distance, the conductor on the wb manifest gives a speeding intermodal a roll-by while waiting for Barstow yard to make room for their train.
