463
Title:  463
Description:  Total luck shot here - was driving to the Dells taking the scenic route when I happened upon the local with a solid train heading towards Madison outside of Lodi. I banged a quick U-turn and headed back into town to catch them at the bridge. Sadly, I was on a schedule (ish) so I did not have the luxury of chasing.

NREX 5542
Title:  NREX 5542
Description:  I didn't have any light left with which to shoot this train, but I have to admit- it was pretty sweet to chase this guy. Eight ponies pulling hard to climb out of the Mississippi River Valley- it was a great sound! The stretch of railroad between Marquette and Monona is no joke- nothing but hills and curves. I can't wait to come back and fan it again.
