This was running just a few minutes after the advertised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I set up with my Nikon Z6 and 70-200mm lens, aiming to catch the train against the sunset sky. (The sun was just an orange glob slowly melting into the western horizon.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We received a friendly blast from the engineer in the old Metroliner control cab as the train glided through the curve at Gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like the trailing view with our new car and Kris in the passenger seat. Amtrak 656 is fading into the distance, but we already know what that looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\"
