Altamont Pass

Altamont Pass, CA

Drove up to take pictures of the wind generators and thought to myself as I drove past this bend in the tracks "I wish a freight train would come through". A mile up the road here it came. I made a quick U turn and raced back to this spot for the shot. You can see some of the wind turbines on the hill in the background.

Wow! Lucky you! The train came right when you needed it. I love the 'S' curve of the tracks here.

Nice when our wishes are granted just like that, huh ;) Great photo!
