11-06-06. I passed over these RR Tracks on my lunch break yesterday, and I noticed the colorful leaves surrounding the tracks. I stopped to see if there was a good photo possibility. I was standing on the bridge trying to figure out a good angle, but the gray sky was working against me. I decided it wasn't going to be that great of a photo, so I didn't even bother taking a picture. Then I heard the rumble of the train coming. I thought the train might add some interest, so I waited until it came around the corner. I took a few pictures as it neared. Just as the train passed under me, the engineer blasted the horn a couple times. I know that they normally don't blow the horn at that point. (this bridge is just around the corner from my office) He was just being ornery, and he was successful in making me jump. Anyway, I do like the way the engine matches the leaves. I still didn't like the dull gray sky, so I cropped as much out as possible.
