Description

I spent the better part of two weeks back in March out in Salt Lake City going through UP's Phase II Locomotive Engineer Training.  I ended up with plenty of time most evenings after class exploring the area.  I’m always looking out for good opportunities for night photography, and the Sandy Expo station on UTA’s TRAX Blue Line was a good candidate.

So here we are, at that station as a northbound two-unit set of Siemens SD-100s pull into the station, empty except for myself and the camera.

I've never ridden a train at night before, but for some reason I'm getting all nostalgic ^ ^ Great capture!

Thanks!  

It can be surreal at times, seeing all the lights going by in the cities.

Well, how about this, seeing a pic from Utah. (I don't know if your live here or originally from here or not) But what a small world.

I would really love to have a job like yours, if only.

Great Gallery too.

Nah, I'm not originally from there, but was sent out west for a couple of weeks for training. I've got another photo in my gallery that I took from the foothills.

I will go take a look again and that is still cool.
