This Space for Rent

Two trains, near and far.

Amtrak F69 #461, heading south past the north throat of Brooklyn Yard
Some random Coast Starlight heads south at Brooklyn Yard (picture taken from the Toonerville bridge at the north end of the yard.)

Amtrak twinkie #121 leads the northbound Coast Starlight past Brooklyn Yard while I sit at a distance trying to make sure I don't miss my bus

When I was waiting for the (early, but I didn't know it) #70 bus last friday, the northbound Coast Starlight came whipping through Brooklyn Yard. Fortunately, it passed a switch engine and went *toot* *toot* far enough into the yard so I could hear it and hustle up to a cross-street to get this indifferent photo of the train just before it crossed over the Powell Street bridge. If I'd have known that the bus had come early, I would have been parked a little bit closer to the railroad, and would have gotten a picture that had more of the in-focus nature.
