Thanks Curtis! This was not necessarily easy to do either. By the time this locals all done and headed back to the main in early afternoon, nose would almost always be backlight and honestly even when the train is backing down in reverse this is really the only time of year where I can get decent light on the nose as well! If they go down early enough.
