Genius Commuter |
| Description: |
Captain Idiot tries to board his train from the wrong side of the tracks. After failing to figure out how to get on with the doors closed, he knew standing right in the middle of the tracks was the best idea. Lucky for him the eastbound freight was moving slow, and the guy was not caught between trains. |

It's kinda ugly lookin on the nose, but I'm sure people will learn to like it. Besides, it'll be a WHILE before this is all we see on BNSf (who knows, they might have ANOTHER new logo in 10 years). :P |

My all time favorite shot |
| Description: |
My favorite shot, ever. Period. Nothing can replace the feeling of standing on an open grated bridge as a steam locomotive races towards you. I snapped this shot, then jumped out of the way so I wouldn't get smoked. Of course, the guy to the left of me runs around behind me and jumps right in. I guess it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and the ultimate souvenir. |
