I was standing in the rain with my D850 waiting for the train. It was loaded with ANPAT participants in the third car - an open air gondola tht was a little damp but great for photography.

You were absolutely in the right place at the right time, and you made the best of it. We should all be so lucky to have at least one of these in our collection. Congrats! (And Happy Holidays to all.)

27 Dec 2018 ericbowles said:Hi everyone - thanks for all the nice comments. These old railroads are a treat. The nice thing about this one is more than half the route is along the road. Perfect for train robbers of the past, and photographers of today. :)

We started the day in the sun with nice clouds, and finished the ride in a mixture of hard rain and sleet. You can see the big splashing drops in the pool of water.
