Parting Shot
It was back to the Wisconsin side and despite some promising indications on ATCS the first place I was able to set up was Maiden Rock. This can be a tough place to shoot with some very large trees between the tracks and the river casting long shadows. The sun angles were pretty good this day and I was trying to line up a shot of an imminent eastbound. Somehow the towering mountain of plowed snow just behind me nearly escaped my attention. Just in the nick of time I scrambled up the pile and lined up a shot of this well-worn Dash 9 as it passes through "downtown" Maiden Rock. After this the line was pretty quiet within striking distance so I closed out a fun day of shooting and headed for home. February 18, 2017,
