Tough shot
Title:  Tough shot
Description:  Gravette can be a challenge, especially late in the agternoon. There is an open area to the west of the tracks where they go through downtown, but shrubbery and trees have made it impossible to get a clear shlt of more than two units. I got this from the embankment leading to the Ark 72 overpass, just catching the light right on this northbound 61 car grain train.
