This was shot at about 1:00pm surprisingly!Lighting
We showed up and the train came within 5 minutes. It was incredible. They say it comes every 1.5hrs or so. This is my all-time favorite photo. My dad is a locomotive engineer and my brother is a conductor.Equipment

Canada's beauty and my obsession with trains since my dad started working at Union Pacific 20 some years ago.Editing
I post processed using my own custom presets in LR. I brushed the sky a little to bring back the proper exposure.In my camera bag
