Railroad photograph
Photo by: Kevin Morgan
Even though there is almost no light left, I went ahead and grabbed this shot of the Southwest Chief descending the grade off Raton Pass. As of the time of this picture, this was the first time I'd shot an Amtrak train other than the California Zephyr...When taking that into consideration (and not know how much longer Raton Pass will even be around), I thought it was worth taking the shot.
