Virginia Power

After losing a previous (and I thought very appealing) shot due to the sun ducking behind clouds for the EXACT amount of time the train took to get within area of "now would be the ideal time to take the photo," I moved further west to ensure there would be little in the way of the sunlight for the next train a mere forty minutes later.

I don't much care for wedges, even less so those with a curve to them, but in the interest of having SOMETHING to show for the day's waiting of nearly ninety minutes, we have this shot of the P331 at the Virginia Power siding west of Clifton, VA, led by the V63. At least I got some of the elusive sunset lighting on the train, though!
