Railpictures.ca - Stephen C. Host Photo: As much as I wish i’d have shot this some other way, on the other hand, it’s a rather nice scene. In amazing looking shape, UP 9233 with a trailing CSXT SD40-2 round the curve at Paris Junction with the daily NS train to Buffalo, NY. No regrets right? Both of these units are endangered or already retired by now. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

We could see UP leaders or anything else with this train while it lasted. What is nice about this is the angle you chose.

Thank you Arnold. I didn’t exactly choose this, I seem to recall the train beating my butt to the tracks having just arrived for my usual morning of whatever comes, so I had to compose something on the spot from the wrong side of the tracks.

But…. this did speak to me so I composed it as such. I wouldn’t think twice about this now, but back then it is surprising what I chose to compose given my lack of experience.

The matching UP boxcar at right kind of makes it. Never realized it was a UP.
