Very good point! If I had remembered that, and hadn't been waiting for my mother to arrive, I would have mentioned it to a supervisor. I might have even tried to get a decent shot of the Empire Builder, but the light was all wrong. Still, a 400mm lens tends to give people pause
The complainng Amtrak employees were gone in a flash. I think that is why our Japanese friend was perplexed. Of what use is a driveby crank?
