Remnants of the Rio Grande, 2



The rest of the day was spent chasing trains on the climb to Soldier Summit.

Great shots, great light (till the thunderstorms come over the summit late in the afternoons) and enough action- especially when I chased it.

At the end of the day, I watched a crew assemble 6 T-2's and splice them into an 85-car westbound coal drag. I chased it west till a thunderstorm hit at dusk up at Colton, and I went to bed tired but happy.
