(AKA Railfanning sucks, AKA Trains suck, AKA I love signals)
It was a long day before I got here. By this time, I'd missed the one and only train with good light, my bike was broken, I was hot and tired.
Also, a derailment in Ontario is holding up most west-bound trains here.
So here's what I got!
I just wish I had the guts to crank the ISO to 3200 :(

Well, I would have used a little longer shutter speed on this one and focus on the train's motion rather than a sunset.

I did think about that, but changed my mind as it was coming around the corner...
Had it all set up for 1/10, F/8, 400 ISO.

I like it. There's even detail in the crossing sign.
