Dylan Widger
NCRC 8123
Elba was our next spot, and after darting around on back roads we got to town just before he did. The weeds along the ROW didn't allow for much of a shot on the other side of the tracks, so we opted for a good darksider.
The old elevator and the ex-BN SD40-2 really hearken back to a time that is often forgotten in today's landscape. I would take this over cityscape scenes any day.
The light was fading, so we followed him on the highway north through Cotesfield, trying to get as many shots as we could before the sun dipped below the hills. We ended up making it to outside Scotia before sunset ended our trip. Jamie set up his camera for a group photo to remember the chase and we headed back home.
Damn good day.
