Album Info:Not long after photographing a returning hot metal bottle car train to the ArcelorMittal steel plant, a departing one came through. From my vantage point on a walkway above the NS/IHB/EJE tracks, I caught as it pulled out. One hot metal bottle train is good luck but two in the same day is exceptional luck!
