The Sun Setting on “The Middle of Nowhere”!

Well actually I was in the middle of two sets of tracks at a grade crossing — the UP on my left and the UTA Front Runner on my right. I was composing this image with my tripod-mounted Minolta Dynax 7 when I saw a figure in dark clothing approaching out of the corner of my eye. This wasn’t a bad neighborhood, but maybe not the best either, so naturally alarm bells were ringing! “Son, we gonna have to shut you down”, a voice said to me! I looked up to find a Union Pacific police officer in dark blue uniform. He said that if I was still behind the crossing gates when they went down, he would have ticket me! I complied! But not before snapping this shot! Every picture tells a story?
