Vintage Paint Sunset - a photo on Flickriver

Vintage Paint Sunset

            A warm glow lights everything up with a golden hue as a work train heads south at Notasugla just minutes before sunset on a March afternoon back in 2010. Can't remember for sure, but this very likely may have been the last time I shot a YN1 CSX unit as there weren't many left at all by this time 15 years ago. Given how the remaining YN2 AC4400s have started being a foam attraction of late, sure this 8418 would cause quite the stir if it was still running around painted like this.

Speaking of things that are no longer around, I always liked this spot for afternoon southbounds coming under the Alabama Highway 81 overpass. But no chance to get it today as starting around 2012 or so the brush growth turned it into a forest here in short order.
