Impossible shot
While waiting for clearance through a work authority just ahead, I stopped the Hoosier State so that I could gts of my train splitting the searchlights at MP 91 just south of Monon, IN. Normally if I were moving at track speed this shot would be impossible as the 91.1 signal (facing us) would not have illuminated as it takes a few seconds for the circuits to energize and by that time the train would block the view of the signal.
