I wasn't driving. A friend of mine drove his "two-seater-rag top" and with the temps at 75, it was a perfect day for chasing the train with the top back. However, it was very sunny and the light was coming from that side of the road. The trees filtered the light here. We were also able to get a head of the train in many cases and stop for shots at a crossing. There were cars from as far away as 500 miles, chasing this run. What a fun day it was! #10415320
