After concentrating on Photographing the SW Chief engines leaving on the bomb scare train, I realized there was a special car attached to the end. As I walked back to my truck reviewing my photos, I looked up and saw The Northern Sky car and quickly took this shot through the window of my truck! I later learned it was a repositioning move back to Chicago. |
