    Thanks, everyone! There was some tough competition! Russ, you sure gave me a run for my money!

    If you look closely at the shot, you'll notice it is slightly blurred. This was 40 MPH territorry, and the light was all but gone.

    Oh no! I just realized I made a big error with our finalists photos. [​IMG]

    I included one incorrect photo and omitted another completely, meaning we had two finalists absent from the final vote.

    My deepest apologies to you guys. In attempt to make it up, I offer the "Honorable Mention" award.

    Honorable Mention:
    friscobob - SB UP coal train about to duck under US69 south of Eufala, OK
    [​IMG]


    HemiAdda2d - Also from the Taking Montana By Storm trip; a ghost of the Milwaukee Road,     Soudan in Fog:
