A perfect ranbow over 21st Century steam!
Title:  A perfect ranbow over 21st Century steam!
Description:  Shortly after a thunderstorm passed through the area while the 630 was arriving back into town with it's excursion from Lynchburg, this rainbow appeared in the absolute perfect spot, making a full arch over the steam locomotive and the old N&W office buildings! Out of all my years of railfanning and taking pictures, this shot hands down has to be the luckiest shot I have ever had with being in the right place at the right time.
