Connell Curve North
Title:  Connell Curve North
Description:  Connell Curve North - Wishing doesnt make it so. In place for sun rise at 05:30AM. Saw various trains prior to this (images posted), but once in position, camera at ready, ear to the wind listening, adjusting camera settings every 5 minutes with rapidly changing light conditions. And sat there until 06:20 - an hour. In Connell, thats unheard of, because trains run through almost twenty-four hours a day, 2.3 trains per hour on average. Being on the bottom of the bell curve hurts sometimes.
