RBMN 425 at Glen Onoko
Title:  RBMN 425 at Glen Onoko
Description:  There's an open rock perch above the Turn Hole Tunnel that I've looked up at for years, and I finally decided to hike up there for a photo while 425 was running. It's a brief (10 minutes) but strenuous hike that yields this photo angle. Kinda like a poor man's drone shot.

Title:  2102 and 425 double heading across the Hometown high trestle
Description:  2102 is blowing it's mud ring, and a 425 crew member is on the rear deck of the tender, perhaps checking the water level in the tender's cistern. That would be a pretty exhilarating perch, on the open deck of the tender while crossing the high bridge.
