The Half Built
The siding locomotive has cleaned up the industrial area supporting bulk transportation when the half built train out of downtown Omaha Nebraska arrives to couple up the units that will complete a westbound run. On the mainline a train is clipping by at thirty miles per hour toward them. Here they have the opportunity to change crews for the run back West. Mass transit of goods to the populous 2181 is in full power grinding out the slow grade to West Omaha.
The train from where I have my tripod set up is a mile away, I am under a bridge where it is nice and dark, you can just drive right up to great locations just like this in any town America ....please don't do this at home, stay off the tracks.
Thanks to Frank Keller for the inspiration to shoot better composed train images! I know your town has that same great shot!
