Lunch: 12/29 – All about 8th Street

by Aaron Hockley on December 29, 2005

Today’s lunch activities occurred entirely at 8th street with that being the hot spot for action. A few westbounds needed to come off the Fallbridge so that was the place to be. The weather was just about crap. Bright white skies, but not even any rain to go for any rain shots. Instead you get the mediocre stuff you see below.

When I got down there, an S-CHCTAC had completed its crew change and was waiting to go north. I decided I was going to try a new angle when he moved, but first I’d have to wait for a stinky U-INBROO to come through. It had a GP50 in faded Heritage paint with a defective numberboard:

After he cleared the stack train moved. I found my position and took a few shots. This is definitely an angle I want to explore further with some decent weather and light. It has possibilities both for close-in shots and for a wider angle such as this:

A couple more westbounds arrived (a grain train and a late Z) but I wasn’t inspired to shoot the same old crap in this light, so that was that, and that’s the end of this post.
