SouthboundFreight_20080319

A Yellow Menace freight pulled by eight engines peeks around the corner and heads southwards into Brooklyn Yard on an inconveniently rainy afternoon (the sun was peeking through the clouds when I hopped on a #9 bus at the Ross Island bridge, but by the time the bus reached 20th and Powell it was starting to drizzle and by the time I reached my traditional trainspotting spot it was enthusiastically raining. It was still raining when I hopped on the #70 to go home, but when I got there, guess what? The sun was once again peeking through the clouds.)
