1469!

The engine number...not my blips.

Prolific as I am, this is only my 429th.

I've always wanted to blip a train engine coming down the tracks. You might say it's been at the top of my blip bucket list. (When I was little my dad worked on trains so they kind of fascinate me.)

Please view in large.

I now leave my Nikon Coolpix out on the seat when I'm driving so that the Canon Rebel can stay in the bag. I don't want it to fall off the seat and get damaged while I'm driving. I tend to slam on the brakes at times and things go flying.

I was stopped at a usual red light when suddenly I heard the bells and an engine pulling one car turned the corner. I had to act in a split second; picked up the camera and snapped. It sped past as quickly as it came.

The light turned green and the car behind me honked it's horn. I came out of my daze and drove on, wondering if I had caught my blip. I hurried home and uploaded it. Hurray! All it needed was a crop and I had my engine.

Now if only the Pecan Store sign weren't there. I guess I should be grateful I can tick one off my bucket list.
