After I left New Albany I stopped by the Falls of the Ohio hoping to catch a train. After fully cooking to a well done burnt red I got lucky and a train came. There was one lone guy fishing the whole time I was waiting. Once the train came people seemed to rise up out of the mud and blocked the shot I had spent all that time scouting out. I wanted an almost full bridge shot from a sand bar but had to settle for a closer picture to keep from having the backs of heads in all the pictures.

#1 was taken over the tops of the back of many heads
#2 was taken on the right side of a photo line that appeared out of nowhere

By this time the place was swarming with parents and kids coming down to watch the train forcing me even closer.

Knowing this now if I had stayed at my original spot and waited long enough the people would have been close enough to the bridge to hardly be noticeable in the scene.
