Milwaukee Road 261 Speeding By
Title:  Milwaukee Road 261 Speeding By
Description:  The money shot. This was actually an accident. The camera was so slow and I was trying to get a shot of the front of it, but the delay of tne camera made this instead. I was panning with it hoping for just any shot and this came out. One of my favorites!
