Railroad picture of the day
I was very late heading out on the line today, but when I reached the bridge over the Yellow Menace, I looked south at the signal to see if it said anything interesting. It was green, so I looked north to see if I could see a train, and there were headlights right there coming towards me very fast.
So. Slam on the brakes, jump off the bike, flip down the kickstand, open the pannier, yank out my purse, and pull the camera out while bolting across the bridge to get to the north side. The train was moving fast, but I was moving faster, and I didn’t even break anything in my mad scramble for the photo opportunity.
