Jewett was an absolute zoo what with 4014 AND the monthly Flea Market, so despite it being the closest point to the house, Deb & I skipped ahead to Buffalo. I knew shooting a the popular S-Curves would be shooting into the afternoon sun, so I opted for a simple broadside shot.
Shout out to Tom Kline & Cary Poole from the Texas Railspot group. Pleasure meeting you both!
