RSS FeedA Steamy Break from Work
by Aaron Hockley
Yesterday morning I was sitting at work and got an instant message from Steve saying that he heard the SP&S 700 on the radio going past an approach signal at MP 769. Since that’s about five blocks from my office, I decided it was a good time for a break and headed that way in a brisk walk. The locomotive was onto the OPR, and unfortunately unless I was going to trespass my photo angle would be aiming southeast into the sun. I believe the term “craptastic” applies, but hey, it’s a steam train, so I’m going to post it.

Heh. I’ll see your tender-first view and raise you a distant view through a window on the #19 bus. Your photo might be from an unconventional angle, but it really emphasises just how big the 700 is, and I think the photo quality is a lot better when you’re not trying to get a good photo through the layers of goo that live on the windows of most of the busses in this town.
