UP Eastbound Manifest, Cochise, Arizona

This is one of my favorite locations in the US to capture Union Pacific movements. I had set the Xpan up on a tripod, pre-composed the shot for a train in either direction, set the exposure and focus point and simply sat back on the camping chair with a cold beer waiting to see what appeared. One half can of Miller Genuine Draft later, 5103 and 9349 appeared with an Eastbound Merchandise train. "Click" and back to the beer. Train photography can be so taxing at times!
