    CSX Garbage

    Had no intention of shooting boring CSX on my Philli trip, but had some time to kill and this pair of GEVO's was parked across the street from the AMTRAK station. Aside from a bit of darkening, this image was just as the camera saw it. No croping, rotating, levelling, contrast work etc.
