Even at 11:10 pm, my camera wouldnt focus just yet as we see a rare move out of Xcel's plant in Monticello. Here the conductor is flagging the crossing, which they have to do at all crossings in Monticello.

Alan Fricker General The problem is most likely with the ditch lights. If they alternate back and forth, it throws off the aut focus beam-it does not know what to focus on. It also doesn't help that the loco is moving just fast enough to require a faster shutter speed to stop action than the camera can provide-notice the conductor's moving too. It's really an interesting photo. 6/8/2012 8:27:49 PM
