Somewhere 'under' the rainbow. CN (IC) 2720 leads train #438 eastbound as it nears Stoney Point, Ontario on June 26, 2023. With on/off rain most of the day we were seeing open skies inbetween the showers. As luck would have it I happened to hear 438 approaching Belle River and was able to get far enough ahead of the train to get a nice going away shot with one of the most brilliant rainbows I think I have ever seen included. I've always said, "I'd rather be lucky than good".... :-)

    Never have I seen such a powerful rainbow. Doubly lucky is catching a train as well.
