GP30 MOW Night

Description

BN (BNSF) GP30 #2741 sits on the yard power lead with a MOW train, waiting for morning and the call to work moving the cars to a track maint/repair location.

I've begun experimenting with nighttime photography. I parked my car nearby and used the high beams to illuminate the locomotive. My 12 inch tripod needed to sit on top of the car but the camera still shook when I pressed the shutter button. What do you think?

I wanted to capture both the train and the adjacent glowing signals in this shot.
