With rain clouds hovering and rains in the far background, it was just a question of time when the Rainbow and the train would pop up around the same time.
Here, a South bound UP Stack train is headed towards San Antonio on Austin Sub, track 1 at New Braunfels, TX.

Wikipedia: Union Pacific 4014 is a preserved 4884-1 class 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy" type steam locomotive owned and operated by the Union Pacific (UP) as part of its heritage fleet. Built in November 1941 by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in Schenectady, New York, it was assigned to haul heavy freight trains in the Wasatch mountain range. The locomotive was retired from revenue service on July 21, 1959, and donated to the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society in late 1961. It was displayed in Fairplex at the RailGiants Train Museum in Pomona, California.
In 2013, UP re-acquired the locomotive and launched a restoration project at its Steam Shop in Cheyenne, Wyoming. In May 2019, No. 4014 moved under its own power after sitting dormant for almost six decades, becoming the world's largest operational steam locomotive and the only operating Big Boy locomotive of the eight that remain in existence. It now operates in excursion service for the UP steam program. No. 4014 became the first mainline steam locomotive to be equipped with the positive train control system in 2021.

Three Union RR MP15s pull a cut of cars up the incline from Edgar Thompson Works for the shove move across the Monongahela River to Duquesne, PA.
Severe weather season is here! One of my favorite times of year. A Union Pacific westbound the P-Burg local rumbles up the front range out of tunnel 1; tornado warned super cells and large hail pummel the eastern plains leaving majestic storm light on the Foothills.
I needed a distraction from the 1500-2000 captures I made from my two weeks on the chase of the Big Boy. The severe storms today were a welcome distraction.

Took this one at the Union Station in Denver, CO. This rickshaw taxi had the awesome lights when I took the picture, so I was lucky enough to capture it. Used Lightroom to bolden up the colors and light trails.
