Description

It's been a month since I've been out to bench freights. I missed it. The noise, the smell, and seeing great pieces. Went out today 05-30-2021 to my local yard to watch them roll by. The yard is shared with a Metrolink station. I pulled in and there were a few cars in the parking lot, but over the course of about half a day, 10AM - 3PM, I only saw 3 other people. One was a security guard, a homeless guy, and some other guy waiting for the Metrolink train. This isn't counting workers loading unloading the trains. I had the whole platform to myself.

About half way through the day I screwed up and wasn't paying attention to shutter speeds and ended up having to delete about 30 flicks when going through them later. Blurrrry... Used the 7.5mm 7Artisans fisheye most of the day. It works great as I can shoot a whole car, even up to long autoracks from about 15 ft. away. The platform is only maybe 20 ft. wide. So I don't have a lot of room. If I back up any further I'm on the tracks on the other side and being run over by a commuter train. DOH!

Had fun, didn't have to deal with people, and saw some great pieces today.

As always, Big thanks to the writers !!
