Last week while I was out shooting the Illinois Terminal heritage unit, I lucked into a few other trains. The weather was wet, foggy, and cold...just the way I like it. The railroad runs day and night and in all kinds of weather, and I would just about as soon shoot in this slop as I would on a sunny day!
