Sunset at Bucklin
Turns out that my boredom and wandering up to Hart was probably another case of "chose poorly" on my part...
After shooting the two trains at the Highway Z crossing, I realized the sky was catching fire with what was looking to be a pretty nice sunset. The highway Z location was pretty surrounded by hills, making it less than optimal for sunset shots. So, I raced back to the Bucklin Signal Bridge, but not really in time for the best of the show that evening.
I did manage to salvage one of the shots into something pretty decent. However, had I just stayed put, the 2 trains I saw at Z would have looked really good under even better skies than this!
