Thanks Chris, Not the perfect light I prefer for this shot. I couldn't find anywhere to film this train with the perfect light I prefer. The train just ran too late in the day for the northbound direction it was running. The line is geograpically east/west which makes it difficult to shoot northbounds around lunchtime and after. I did the best I could with the light I had. I tried to get more of a broadside shot since I had very little if any noselight

Nice shot! Looks like #6704 had a little run-in with something on the nose.

Thanks Alex, You're right my friend, the 6704 has definitely had a run in with something

The lighting actually sets off the long-hood and accents the damage on the short hood

Glad you & others like the shot anyway. I prefer the nose, side, & trucks be lit on every shot, but sometimes you have to take what you can get. It's difficult to have that perfect light all day
