You Gotta Be Quicker Than That.
The classic State Farm "I got you a dollar/you almost had it/you gotta be quicker than that" commercial comes to mind with this shot. Since I'm flying solo, I'm having to navigate, drive, and watch the train all at the same time. I got burned at the first crossing west of Cuba, and totally missed at the 2nd crossing, Depler Springs Rd. (image not even worth posting). Part of that was having to wait through the line of railfans who were by now giving chase. So my next opportunity was at the next crossing down with Highway 95. I again did not get to the crossing in time, so the best I could do was a nearly-broadside passing shot. After the the train passed, I had an opportunity to catch it at one of two rural road crossings just before Smithfield. But I didn't want to chance it, and into Smithfield I went.
