BNSF Over Take at Seligman, Arizona.
Train photography, in my opinion, is a one player sport. While, "Her in Doors" is always a pleasure to be with (I was instructed to put that bit in), my wife has limited patience when sat waiting the arrival of a freight train. 30 minutes seems to be the "acceptable" wait time, after which I normally get:- "When is it coming?"; "How much longer will it be?"; "Why don't these things run to a schedule?"; "How much longer do we have to sit here?"; "Why don't you photograph trains where there are trains?" "How many train photographs do you need?"
With 5 minutes to spare before question time a BNSF Eastbound Intermodal with priority running overtakes a Merchandise train standing in the loop about 5 miles West of Seligman.
