| Since the locomotive was shoving, it had to stop at every crossing so one of the crew members could hop out and flag the crossings, which made it very easy to get back out ahead of it. Grand Avenue in Ashley was our next shot location. Thanks to colder weather today and strong westerly winds, there was plenty of visible steam and smoke, and it was blowing to the east, so it gave the effect that the locomotive was pulling forward instead of shoving backwards. Strong wind and cold weather sucks, but sometimes it goes in our favor! |
