UP Surprise
Title:  UP Surprise
Description:  I was literally finishing up photographing a few ROW items like this signal shed when all of the crossing alarms went off at the massive West Washington Street intersection. I caught as much of the passing power as I could so up close - safe on a sidewalk - but upclose nonetheless.
