I was getting ready to hopefully grab a pic of a passing train in Charlotte. I noticed it was slowing and sure enough it stopped right in front of me! Sometimes, even I get lucky.
I shot more pics and even a video of it leaving. The video's audio got ruined because I had to explain to the grandkids the dangers of getting too close to the tracks. They also liked to throw things at trains which startled me. I guess I need to spend more time training them. I would never allow them to walk on the tracks at their young age. I need to teach them more respect of others too.
I was also saddened to hear of some recent things happening here. Two young girls were just killed on these tracks. I hate to think how the guys feel who operate the train with this stuff happening. So, I was happy to get some shots. I walked away sad, at the crap that goes on. Wish I had better news to pass on.....
