Impressive Lashup
Title:  Impressive Lashup
Description:  Now this lashzps puts the "power" in "horsepower"! This eastbound freight is mostly pulled onto the siding but the crew seemed to be having trouble with the consist. For when I grabbed this and several other shots the tail end of the train was still out on the main track up in Long Lake. The Luce Line trail bridge over the BNSF/Highway 12 bypass corrior is in the distance.
