Sunset |
| Description: |
Sunset on the celebration at Bailey yard. Update 2017: I went back to this spot to capture the sun setting directly on the tracks in 2017 and found this grade crossing had been abandoned and a auto traffic flyover replaced it. Not only is it imposible to stand in this location, the overpass blocks the sun and ruins the shot. This photo can never be repeated. |
