I think this might just be one of the most unique pictures I've ever taken! This eastbound BNSF manifest is stopped on the main at Rocky due to a mechanical issue. While it was stopped (and I was waiting around as well), this gentleman flying a paraglider showed up! With a propeller strapped to his back and a parachute ("wing") overhead, he propelled his way down the siding at Rocky, alongside the stopped manifest!
