William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks landrover, I was actually upset I had to shoot the 226 here. I had a better light opportunity back about a mile from this location, but the 226 beat me there, so I had to settle for this shot. I had to cover up the fact the nose light was fading fast by getting more of a side shot. I could've also went to a few places east to get better light, but there were other trains I wanted to shoot I would've missed had I chased the 226. Sometimes you have to take what you can get in order to not miss other trains you want to film. 1/29/2010 7:11:48 AM
