After spending a couple weekends volunteering as a student brakeman on the Niles Canyon Railway's annual Train of Lights, I thought it was time to make my annual trip over there as a railfan...
Unfortunately a couple things made this year's chase rather difficult. First was the commuter traffic through the canyon and second was the road being closed between Brightside Yard and Farwell Bridge starting at 8pm, just in time for the train's 7:30 Sunol departure, so I was not able to get all the shots at Farwell that I wanted.
But I still managed to get a decent amount of shots at Brightside, Sunol, and a couple at Farwell earlier in the chase despite those obstacles.
