AMTK 44 and AMTK 818
Title:  AMTK 44 and AMTK 818
Description:  AMTK 44 shooting into Vancouver before I can fully get into position - so this is completely camera angle - we didnt get *that* much snow. And the wonderful "fast" (sarcasm marks) Sony manages to miss every one of the AMTK 818 (odd - this is the number on the starboard side partially visible in several frames - yet the following week, I have 189 as the number two unit - albeit the second unit does switch which end is facing north - just found it interesting... too bad "I" missed all the shots) just off her aft section (yes - I know I can set it up to shoot 10 frames in about 2 seconds... but the recovery time after doing that is so huge, you learn quickly NOT to do it because itll process each of the images and display them (and I have my chimp mode set to off/zero) so even snapping two or three frames, not the entire ten results in five to ten seconds of camera down time - not that I just love my Sony (moderate sarcasm marks) camera - but, uh, dang - did Canon really have me that spoiled?) - northbound double header passenger service making a super-fast stop in Vancouver before quickly accelerating away before I can even get around the corner and into the station to try and snag some additional power shots.

AMTK 44 - AMTK 189
Title:  AMTK 44 - AMTK 189
Description:  AMTK 44 - AMTK 189 with barely enough time to jog down the length of the platform and get into position, the sun chooses that moment to crack through the smallest of openings down below the horizon to give a little color to the clouds against the deep blue shadows of early evening moments before this pair rushes off to the north.

AMTK 44
Title:  AMTK 44
Description:  AMTK 44 threatening to burst out of the 28mm dribble now and ice from the plow-guard onto your toes, rushing past the Vancouver Station loading deck in the five-minute load-n-go.
