Two red trains meeting
Wintry freezing afternoon
Numb fingers, warm heart
Southward train, mixed freight
Four engines, lifeless and cold
Trail behind crazy eights.
Switch is against them
Conductor braves the fierce cold
Sets the record straight
Northbound train, mostly oil
Stuck on the sidelines for now
Now time to escape
Smoking and rumbling
Long gloss black snake tail trailing
Steel monster heads north
A foreign surprise!
Black thoroughbred, trails behind
Grungy red leader
Four thousand horses
Give or take, on twelve steel wheels
Pull with all their might
Cold railfan happy
Gear away, head home, satisfied
Numb fingers, warm heart
Just to let you know; when I fire up my laptop and go online, it is your site that loads as my default. Love the picture and stories!
So kind of you to say, Bob! Thank you so much!
Enjoyed that

Many shots taken
Hard to catch the blink just right
Then deleted many
Ok, I’ll try one too…
