Description
I've been wanting to shoot the 1225 Pere Marquette since I rode it a couple of years ago. Finally with the first snow predicted for the weekend I planned to go shoot this monster. The roads ended up being horrible that day and it took a lot longer to get there than I had anticipated. Luckily I had already picked which crossing I was going to shoot from and already had my camera settings somewhat set. Upon getting there I had about five minutes before I could hear the trains horn and the chugging. I then in the distance could see the huge plumes of smoke and steam, it looked incredible. As it approached I was able to capture this shot as it chugged on by.
