They're oranges, but they've done some operations on it to give it the sour taste of a lemon.
It's a very delicious fruit, I did like it very much :)

The things you do when you receive intel about a plow extra running on the former IC&E lines in northern Iowa and southern Minnesota.
Wake up at 5 AM...check!
Drive over 100 miles one way...check!
Zig zag across country roads to make sure you haven't missed the plow...check!
Find out several hours later that the plow extra is not running...check!
With solid intel that a plow extra would be running north out of Mason City and west on the former IC&E Jackson Subdivision, Josh Dulak and myself head out to shoot what would be my first ever plow train! With a 6 AM call time and an expected arrival time of noon at Austin we figured arriving around 8 or 9 AM would set us up perfectly for a solid chase.
To sum up a long day, the power we were expecting to be used on the plow train ended up grabbing a cut of 50 cars from the yard and headed north onto the Owatonna Sub as job B46. From there, they headed north, stopped in Lyle to work the ethanol plant and then continued on towards Austin. The scanner began chirping and we quickly realized they were meeting another train at Austin. The southbound, job B48, turned out to be a loaded ethanol train off the former IC&E Jackson Subdivision, the line the plow was expected to run on. With all hopes of catching a plow extra out the window we figured the day was done for. However, to our surprise, job B46 left its cut in the Austin yard and joined their power up with the southbound ethanol train. We now had a four unit, blue and yellow led, southbound loaded ethanol train!
By this time, the clouds had cleared and the winds began whipping! We decided to head south with the train in hopes of finding some sort of drift action. A lucky turn down one of the several country roads would result in this shot of the loaded southbound ethanol train blasting through a drift between Austin and Lyle. Although the plow extra never happened, this shot alone turned out to be a decent consolation prize.
This is what I was hoping to get with the previous image. Moon was faked in here from the previous day's moonrise, appropriately transformed.
