San Luis Rio Grande B39-8E 8577 (ex LMX 8577) runs long hood forward as it heads toward Monte Vista, CO on December 11, 2008 with a load of empty hoppers for Coors Barley as well as a few reefers for San Luis Valley potatoes. In the background is the snow covered Sangre de Cristo range. This image is one of the first with my new Canon 5D Mark II camera.

Canon 5DMKII 1/800sec. - f/9 - ISO 250 - EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS lens @ 47mm.
