Dodging the shadows  Contributor's Pick!       
The great thing about Tioga Center was the semaphores; the down side was the hill to the west of the tracks, which made them go into shadow early. I had to dodge the shadows to get the power lit, meaning I had to pass up the "through the goalposts" signal shot. Still the blade on track 2 has not started to drop yet, and it can be seen above the lead stack.
