Blueberry Punkin Sammich Pt. 2 - a photo on Flickriver

            On this early spring day in March, I happened to hear the IR heading west through Yorkville, IL while I was out searching for owls and other migratory birds at Silver Springs State Park.  I packed up my stuff and made for an intercept at the N. 4201st crossing east of Sheridan, where the tracks cross over Roods Creek on a small trestle.  Since I had two cameras with me, one with the Sigma 150-600 and the other with the Canon 18-135 STM, I was able to go for the long shots and the wide shots.  

Here are 3 shots of the IR approaching Roods Creek, crossing the creek, and then going away from me, with two BNSF units sandwiching two of IR's 4 blue SD40-2 lease units.  And since nothing was growing yet, the race was now on to the two other bridges.
