UP in eastern Iowa
Title:  UP in eastern Iowa
Description:  I chased this train halfway across eastern Iowa, getting ahead, then stopping in opportune spots to try and get the all-American train photograph (as you can see, I didn't have much luck on that count.) Five engines on this train, and the third or fourth unit was making a horrible wailing noise, almost painfully loud.

Foreshortened
Title:  Foreshortened
Description:  Never met a zoom lens I didnt like. UP 7345 is rolling out of the old SP downtown yard onto the Lufkin Subidvision, bound for Houston. A couple of fans were filming it just off-camera to the right, so it was blowing the horn like crazy for their benefit.

wAsH mE
Title:  wAsH mE
Description:  This, I suppose, is the dreaded "wedgie" shot. Oh well. I like it, for the downtown background, the heat shimmer, the perspective on the train and the empty track next to it, and of course some comedians finger-written note on the engine nose. UP #8431 and company are heading southbound out of Portland on a sunny July 4th. I rushed to get ahead of the train and cross the tracks to the sunny side... then was stuck there for a good ten minutes as the train crawled along, then stopped, then rolled backwards, before finally proceeding forward again.
