13 minutes from Sunset - a photo on Flickriver

13 minutes from Sunset

            "Just got a ping for MP 56.7"

As I was on my way up to Topeka's Calhoun Bluffs (ca. MP 64) after work to see what I could get before sunset, I received the above text, which told me that one should absolutely be on the way within the waning minutes of sunlight.

Sure enough, just as I arrived at my location, I could hear the train blowing for the crossings to the east of me, and within a minute or two, I saw the UP 7917 rolling towards me in charge of the MNLNPB 6. 

From the time that I photographed the head end, there were just 13 minutes until sunset, and this whole scene would be shadowed in by the time the rear end rolled by. It's amazing what a difference a few minutes makes.
