Doswell VA 01.28.2011: Two-Fer Finish

One more shot on the way home to finish off my trip on the third. We went home through Doswell and saw two trains. Right as we crossed the tracks, Q740 was approaching which meant there was only time to hit record- no exposure compensation; just some saturation adjustments added while editing in Vegas. I was able to start the camera in time as two ES40DCs which I am unable to identify off the top of my head lead a fair amount of Tropicana Reefers northward.

Right as the last few reefers on 740 past the crossing, Q703 approached the crossing behind ES40DC 5470 HLCX SD40-2 7190 led a good amount of Waste Management containers south towards Collier. The smell wasn't that bad for 60-degree weather.

Nice, I missed The Juice while moving down to Collier.

@FastFlyingVirginian Well at least it's quite as elusive of a target for you as it was back in 2010. Nowadays it seems sometimes you miss it sometimes you don't.

@FastFlyingVirginian Whoops! Should have proofread my reply before hitting post- I meant to write it's not quite as an elusive target for you as it was back in the fall of 2010. I most commonly forget to type words I mean to type when composing a regular email.

Nice catches. Too bad that Q703 didn't have the HLCX unit up front lol.
