Railroad photograph

At the grade crossing at East Portal, this westbound autorack train is about to enter the Moffat Tunnel to continue its journey west. Sure is great seeing a Rio Grande Tunnel Motor on the point! This was, however, rather early on in my photography career, so the quality is not the best.
