Bumbling Through Buffalo Interestingly, I've never shot anything on the Springfield Hannibal - the ex-Wabash west of Decatur. It's a well known and better photographed than the Lafayette a little closer to home (and certainly more photogenic than the Lafy!), yet I've just... never been. As a result, when I finally did venture west of Decatur to find NS 148, I really had no idea how I was going to shoot it outside of my first shot at Dawson. I'd driven past a few potential photo spots on my way to Dawson, but it's always hard to get a real grasp on an angle until you put your eye on your viewfinder. NS148 was of interest because of it being led by the former Southern Pacific AC44 that is now patched as the UP6379. Hoping to maximize my shots - as I knew the train would not enter the Lafayette until after dark - I was ready to stop anywhere to try a shot. I hadn't even thought about shooting at Buffalo, but when I saw the crossing again, I knew I had to make a stop - even though light was very strange, and I had barely any lead over the 148. Still, I got it. Just barely! If I learned anything from this afternoon, it's that I need to return to the Springfield Hannibal to try some of these spots again...
