Album Info:For part of the Memorial weekend, my father, my best friend and I hit the BNSF Transcon between La Plata, Ethel & Elmer, Missouri. It was an interesting trip to say the least. Started in La Plata, Mo. at 6:50am with horrible rains until 10am. After that moved to Ethel, Mo for some field shots & high bridge shots. Finally ending our day in the small Missouri town of Elmer. Hope everyone enjoys the shots. Thanks for stopping by to take a look!
