1401 leads the Cayuga Clipper towards St. Thomas on the St. Thomas Sub, early on a December morning. Rare to see an F Unit assigned to this job, as OSR "doesn't like to send the good paint down the Cayuga." If you're wondering why, just check out this shot in Tillsonburg from July.

    Very awesome Jamie. :-)
    The light is perfect for this scene.

    Thanks Larry, I’d scoped this spot two days prior but the clouds won out on that morning. With the sun coming up nicely on this morning I took no chances and when these guys got to Putnam I took off for here and waited. Didn’t want to take any chances by being too greedy and then missing them here haha. :)

    A very kind nearby homeowner offered me the use of his backyard but I wasn’t sure what the angle was like there and heard them blowing not too far away so didn’t have time to find out… Maybe next time!

    I’m laughing as I type this. To quote one of my wife’s fav cowboy tunes (not that I’m a big C&W lover). You have a “Big Iron on your hip”. A deadly shot. :-D
