496
Title:  496
Description:  While I waited for CP 171 at Azelia Ave, I heard a horn behind me. I checked the light and it was a red over a flashing red, and there was a route lined up for the pass track at Humboldt. Minutes later, a train came around the corner, and I then got this shot. Right after I took this, I saw that the engineer was none other then Dean!

171
Title:  171
Description:  Thanks to a tip from Josh, I was able to catch this awesome looking CP 171 as it came through University. When I first heard about the power on this train, I thought I wouldn't be able to shoot it since it was raining. However, the sky cleared up and the sun came out, and I was lucky enough to get this shot!
