I got my 17-85 back from Canon and took it out for a spin Monday morning in St. Paul. First stop was Westminster Interlocking and after a bit of a wait, this Northtown-Dayton's Bluff transfer came through just as the sun was starting to peek over the bluffs.

I found myself a few hours later on the south side of the river in St. Paul taking pictures of a BNSF train stopped in front of St. Paul Union Depot when a UP transfer snuck up behind it. My buddy informed me that the Roberts St. Lift bridge was dropping down and a shot I've been hoping to get for months might actually happen. The CP-UP transfer than began to crawl over the bridge as it headed down to South St. Paul Yard.

These are my first decent shots using what I have learned on these boards and first post here in transportation. Any C&C would be greatly appreciated. There is something missing I believe from making this pictures pop and I can't quite figure out what it is.
