Boo Yah!
Title:  Boo Yah!
Description:  "Boo yah!" I cried after snapping this shot of the CPKC train at Humboldt Yard. I thought I'd blown my only chance to bag this train, but lo and behold, there it was at the east end of the yard early on a Wednesday evening a week after I first saw the train! There are second chances in life, my friends.
