One good thing about sunset, in the middle of a high pressure system, is the winds go away, and that makes flying a quadcopter easier. I can get more level pictures This is a fairly simple quadcopter, without a fancy self leveling gimbal camera mount. And I don't have remote viewing, its point and hope. It's like fishing, you don't know what you get until you reel in your line. And I still fly my quad attached to a fishing line.

Its a few days before the end of daylight savings time, after work, and I knew the coal train was in the area but I didn't know exactly where.
This is where luck comes into play. (Luck is when preparation meets opportunity)
I have been test-flying the quadcopter at various locations while there was still daylight available.
Just to see the potential views and if it was worth coming back. Some flights are almost after dark, when shutter speeds drop and blurr comes in.
Earlier this day I had planned on this location, whether there was a train not not. So I am setting up anyway, and I hear a train horn.

This is the middle of town on the west side of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, USA.
The Metcalf building is a wood millwork store, but it has the familiar shape of an old farm feed mill.
Looking northeast, on the horizon is the big paper mill. The UP train is coming south across Grand Avenue.
Thirty years ago, there were 3 tracks and 3 railroads, and even a depot, long gone.
All that has been consolidated and merged into one, and blacktop has taken over that space.
