UP 5419

Meadow Valley, Moapa Nevada

As a rail photographer you normally chase a train down to a specific location where you capture it on film or digital image. Sometimes things are reversed. Here UP 5419 a new GEVO locomotive chases me through the Meadow Valley wash on a fall afternoon.
Snapped through the driver side mirror of my truck.

Great shot! Could you trim the right hand bottom corner to remove the white then it would be prfect.

That is absolutely wonderful! I tried this last night driving home with a freight to my left. I hope it came out as nice as this.
