Benefits Of A Tripod: Take One
Title:  Benefits Of A Tripod: Take One
Description:  Here we glimpse the TC&W doing some switching work either building the Glencoe Turn or finishing up with the St. Paul Turn late in the afternoon of a gorgeous April day. Due to trees, brush, and nearby buildings I couldn't get any up-close shots of the units (their GP39-2s), so I ventured back to the Dominick Drive grade crossing (from which I'd first glimpsed them) and snapped the first of three shots with my camera set up on my tripod. Bridge is for Shady Oak Road.
