To Complete The Scene - After meeting X852, B651 was now in the clear to proceed to Shelby and take its place on the main. On the rear of the train, a CP GE was acting as a distributed power unit, and caught a glimmer of sunlight as it freed the locals of their crossing bondage. Something about the framing in this shot stuck out to me; between the crossing gates, the pedestrians, and the red CP nose, it seemed to work quite well.
