Railroad photograph

Northbounds are always hard to shoot on the Front Range Sub, but that problems tends to get worse in the winter months when the sun is further to the south. The sun is almost directly behind this Valmont empty as it makes its way north past 63rd Street along the Diagonal.

This telephoto shot is just excellent. The extreme side-lighting and the telephoto , and the rolling terrain, make the train look like a centipede. The blurring of the background built-up clutter by the heat waves really focuses the action. Terrific perspective.
