Sunset at Black Point
NWP 1501 heads west across the Black Point bridge with three covered hoppers in tow, bound for industries in Petaluma.
I arrived in Schellville to both gensets and 1501 still in the cage. At this point, both genset were yet to be fully fixed up so 1501 would again be heading to Petaluma alone. It was basically a typical Petaluma run that day, excepts they were set back about 30 minutes which was just enough time for the sun to set to soon. They rounded the wye in Schellville and grabbed the three cars before quickly heading west. I stopped at the Fairville curves to try my luck at that spot but because they were just a bit later than usual, the shadows were longer and covering the majority of the curve. But I got the shot anyway and drove down to the Black Point bridge, I knew it would be dark at this point anyway but the sky was perfect and even though it’s pretty dark, it still turned out nice.
