A couple of shots from August 20th

I'll toss in a couple of my shots from the green passenger run on 8/20. I only rode the one day but had a great time.
This first shot was at the end of the day. We were dropped of at the bridge south of Silverton and then the train was turned on the wye. Not much sunshine to be found but I liked the way that the smoke framed the top of the consist.
This one was taken at the old snowshed site. One of those head on shots as the train rounds a curve. I actually liked the next shot on my card better than this one but it has some lens flare to deal with.
I like this one because of all of the steam not that it is much of a shot of the train.
