Union Pacific's LOA32 "Anaheim Local" strolls through Santa Ana Street as it crosses the southern part of Downtown Anaheim as the train heads for it's first customer at International Paper (Their spot cars are the Boxcars on the rear) before heading south for Costa Mesa.
This is the SoCal version of the Solar Eclipse April 8, 2024, 50% coverage at peak. Photographing it just seemed like the thing to do. The sky was clear, but as I got to my work destination, it was WINDY. I could see the camera / lens shake on the tripod. So, I guess this came out OK. And it was pretty fun sharing with my coworkers and park visitors. Check out that sunspot almost at center on the edge of the arc.
I used an inexpensive Daystar solar filter on the lens. And of course I used the required eyeglasses.

Blasting off from their last customer of the day, UP’s LOE37 crew gets rolling back towards home base at El Centro. Since this photo was taken, 1413 has emerged from North Little Rock with a fresh coat of Armour Yellow, officially rendering Southern Pacific-painted GP40-2s an extinct species, with the famous scarlet and grey scheme now only donned by a handful of GP60s and AC4400CWs.
