thanks to a heads up from MR. Milwaukeeroad I was able to catch an ACe today on a coal load facing into the sun, and by pure luck they held the main in Grasston for a tac load, and they stopped in a clear spot without any trees near them so I was able to get about 20 minutes of good closeup shots

here is one shot I have been dieing to get, for some reason. nothing super cool just one for the photo bank.

I had to hold the camera over my head and could barely see the screen, wish I had gotten it perfectly straight.

looking north.

Nice shot of the builders plate... those are tough to pull off when the train's moving.
