Remarks & Notes

It's the first night of Train Festival 2011 in the Quad Cities as a pair of Amtrak heritage locomotives idle on a private varnish train from Chicago. Thunderstorms developed quickly this evening and despite raining out the night photo shoot, some photo possibilities were still available.
