Triple Crown Showdown
The westbound Triple Crown RoadRailer books it up the grade into the Mississippi River floodplain in its final week of existence.
With sun in the forecast, I quickly left work to capture what looks like my final sunny chase of this train. The shot seen here was a classic get-out-of-the-car-and-see-what-happens/grab shot. It was in my rearview mirror, so I pulled over to try something. This ended up being one of my favorite shots despite never shooting here. It's neat how that works out.
I'll really miss this train, but i'm glad I spent a lot of time shooting it this past year.
