The northbound commuter is being "pushed" thru the town of Brisbane, CA. The barron land in the foreground is all that's left of the great Southern Pacific Bayshore Rail Yard. In the background is a lumber car. It is one of the few UP freight stops in this area.

I'm curious where you were when you got this shot. It would look even better if you took it in the afternoon.

The pic was taken from Mission Blue Drive, in Brisbane, where I live. I was hoping one of the South City Switchers would go by... it'd be a great shot from there. However... I had my Beagle dogs with me and I couldn't stay.
