I was really happy all the things fell in to place to get this shot. At first, you might ask what is special about it. UP's MGJNY is headed east on the main at Rocky, which by itself is not anything unusual. However, if you look toward the top of the frame, you can see the head end of a westbound oil train approaching Tunnel 1, nearly six rail miles to the west! The two trains met at Eisele (Clay), allowing for this to be possible.
