Luck.... - a photo on Flickriver

Luck....

            is when the following happens:

1) You end up in a town you've never been before trying to scout a location for a photo of an approaching train (NS #218)

2) You check four locations with access to the tracks and decide none of them are great.

3) You settle for a crossing only to notice a building up the nearby hill.   You investigate.

4) You realize that beyond the building is a vacant field with a decent view of a recently rehabbed fill

5) You hear the sound of an approaching northbound you had no idea was coming, but are comforted in knowing the southbound is lined for the main closest to you.  At that moment you hear the southbound's horn, as well

6) The trains are doing 25 mph and 35 mph, respectively, and end up meeting right in your viewfinder!

Oh, and you cap off the day with tickets at the 48-yard line for the Carolina Panthers - Arizona Cardinals football game that were given to you earlier in the week!

Gotta' love luck!
