Hi Ross,
Thanks for the comments. This was literally a grab shot. I had just a few seconds to grab the camera off the seat and power it up before the train was gone. I agree about the tree branch, the funny thing is that it's usually higher but the ice brought it down a few feet to block the front. I didn't realize that until last night. It was a fun 3 days although 5 - 6 weeks of work went into producing the event so we're kind of tired. I may work on some of the photos a bit more and post a couple. Some of our expert lens artists with good cameras will probably post their work, I look forward to seeing some of the stuff I missed while working on equipment and scenes.
