Two23 posted:I got in line on US 30 and bypassed the train's stop in Columbus and went to a corn field I had noted the week before a bit west of Schulyer. It was planted late and the corn was only knee high. I carefully walked out into it and set up again with my Nikon D850 & Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VR on a tripod and waited. It was hot under the Nebraska sun and corn fields are always extra humid. Train eventually came (can see the smoke from miles away,) and I popped a couple of shots. I was the only human in that square mile. Once again my scouting trip had paid off.

Scouting always pays off. I am amazed at the number of people who follow special trains through territory totally unfamiliar to them, and start looking for photo vantage points as they go. Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. Nice photos, Kent.
