BPRR Riker-Driftwood Turn @ Castle Garden
Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. Today, I was the bug. Estimations had this train leaving Driftwood westbound around 2 or 3pm, but upon arrival in Driftwood at 2:30 it was apparent that they had not yet arrived. I headed west, passed them, and was finally able to get back ahead just in time for this shot. They never made it west in daylight. On the bright side I enjoyed wings at the Driftwood Tavern, got this shot, scouted the area a little bit, and saw some elk. All in all not terrible, but certainly a reminder that once in a while there's a failure in the cards!
