Thanks Greg, and I agree about the "caboose hop" aspect. The entire train looked a bit odd, but catching just 315 and the first caboose is what made the image work for me.

I've done several charters that did runbys there, and have hiked out from Osier on a number of occasions, and could never get what I wanted due to weather, lighting or something else. As Russo alluded to, it can be tough shooting there with all the people on a charter as there are only so many prime places to position without falling into Toltec Gorge or being blocked by something - or someone.

That is quite the beard!
