great picture. like a giant new york centipede.

I enjoyed that shot as well. Seems to have been taken from the far side of the Wildlife Refuge off of Cross Bay Blvd.

No doubt. I take that train everyday from the hood.

Looks like a caterpillar crawling up a branch. Excellent pic! Love taking that train. Great view.
