Eclipsed

Part of the reason for choosing this location to view the eclipse was the thought that at worst, I'd get a chance to railfan while I was watching and, with a bit a luck, I might get a chance at combining the eclipse with a train.

 

As it turned out, Amtrak for once was running on time, perhaps a bit early, this day. The train passed just a few moments before totality started. Still this view with some different light/tonal textures to it was worth capturing. Normally, a shot at this time of day would be very harsh, intense lighting.
