With the low evening sun dropping into the San Joaquin Valley haze, the Rio Grande heritage SD70ACe rolls downhill through Cliff with a westbound manifest. Following this train over the pass on the way back to the Bay Area was an awesome way to cap off a week of photography on the LA&SL.
Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
