Apex station, which is RR east or north of Las Vegas, in the background lies Las Vegas and trains
enter the Vegas Valley from this location. Going into a S curve then a near straight line into downtown Las Vegas for crew change.
this photo was taken off the ROW or right of Way, on a pipeline road some 60 feet or more from the tracks and some 35 feet higher than this train, wearing a bright yellow and silver reflective vest (no combat railing fanning for me).
With a dark night an a lonely area. This train crew was still very suspicious of my activities and kept shining a hand held flood light at me repeatedly which ruined each timed exposure. Finally with a green signal I caught this shot.
