On this run following a loaded NS coal train, we had just enough time to turn off River Road in Washington Boro and pull into the lot at Blue Rock Heritage Park.

Seamus-the-dog was riding in the back seat, and he’s used to the routine: the car comes to a stop, I leap out, open the back door, fish out one of those black gizmos that I fiddle with, and then a great, loud mass of rolling metal and fumes roars by. It’s all very exciting. Seamus helps by counting the cars.

Kris made an iPhone photo of Seamus watching the train.

Photo exposed using a Nikon Z7-II with a 70-200mm f/2.8 Nikkor Z-series zoom set at 79mm, f/2.8, 1/640th second, ISO 2000. NEF RAW file processed using DxO PureRAW 5 with DeepPRIME 3 corrections and cosmetic adjustments with PhotoLab 9.

Soon we were on the roll again!
