Experiments at Sunset

Driving northwest out of Cleburne on highway 171 alongside  the FWWR tracks you soon come to a spot where the railroad built a two-track yard and named the location ”Windmill.”  FWWR purchased 70.8 acres north of the tracks that has been divided up into smaller units and dubbed the Cleburne Railpark.  A service lead has been put down

and the first track into the property is also under construction.

Two of the lots have already been sold to new customers.  Moving on to Cresson as the sun lowered towards the horizon FWWR 2005 and two other units were tied down in silence as the next Cresson Job would not go on duty until 11:00pm.

I played with the angles to mostly hide the sun behind the 2005 for this effect.

On the south side of the yard I experimented with the light resulting in this silhouette view of the cars and rails.

For my final shot of the day I panned to the left to include the setting sun.

Not a bad Sunday starting with Amtrak number one and ending with special effects.
