| Album Info: | I don't normally shoot at night, as I own one measly flash unlike a few of the guys in Texas Railspot, who bring their own sun for their nightshooting.
But, this was a special case: "a solid": #6666, which also qualifies as a demon unit.
I preflashed the crew at Flynn before my actual shot (as I always do as a courtesy), then decided to run after him as I heard he had to hold the main at Zulch for a northbounder to take the siding.
Spoke to the conductor after he dismounted, and apologized for having to flash him at Flynn, but he told me he really doesn't mind. He saw my preflash back at Flynn, and was wondering why I was shooting at night, so I told him. 8 and sand PTX.
