Mohawk Valley, Arizona

I've always wanted to shoot trains with heat distortion so I got an opportunity back in the summer of 2017 when we took a family trip out to Palm Springs. It was a big group on my wife's side of the family and we arrived Friday night, so I took advantage of the situation and drove out to Yuma where I'd stay the night, with the condition I'd be back by early afternoon the next day. I got up early the next morning only to find a lack of traffic, but finally got some action by late morning. Here UP 2613 East approaches a pair of intermediates as the midday heat sends heat waves roiling through the air.
