The Blue Mountain grade crossing is a fantastic spot to capture a train working up a mountainous grade while also capture the Great Plains in the background! Such is the case here as a westbound coal empty approaches the crossing on an unseasonably warm day. It was 62°F out when I snapped this shot.
