Any day now the green grass of the canyon will turn "golden" for the rest of the year, so I have been stopping on the way home from work to grab some shots of trains in this very scenic location northwest of San Francisco.

Thanks all, #2 is probably my favorite of this series as well. Not bad considering I was chasing the sound of the horns and got it from out the window of my GTI at rurual grade crossing just as it went by!
