Lunch Break "Surprise" - a photo on Flickriver

Lunch Break "Surprise"

            I just happened to be rolling through North Topeka on my lunch break on Thursday, and noticed a bunch of people standing around, so I thought I'd stick around to see what the ruckus was about. Turns out there was a steam train coming!

In reality, I sharpshot this incredibly well, with it taking less than half an hour over my lunch break, before having to get right back to work. I've been able to photograph the Big Boy a number of times now, and I'm always happy to get out to do so. It may not be a Missabe "Yellowstone," but it'll do in a pinch. ;-)
