UP 3823
Title:  UP 3823
Description:  I had this great shot set up with a bunch of cows and a train. Well, the train showed up and spooked the cows and they all cleared out of this photo except for the two in the background. You'd think with 60 trains a day rumbling by they'd be used to it! I nailed the second attempt though.
