NBN, excellent shot. The false black and white seems less ... I dunno, warm? than film B&W.

"As the train approached, they sounded the horn and got no response," Austin police Detective David Fugitt told the Austin American-Statesman. "They activated the emergency brakes but were unable to stop in time."
Fugitt said he is not sure whether McAvoy would have felt vibrations from the train.
The train was hauling a fleet of cars from Mexico to St. Louis.
I'm not sure if vibrations would transmit through a gravel train bed and be noticable over the shifting of the gravel beneath her feet.

As for the pictures, they are very nice. It reminds me of the stuff I used to see in Life magazine.
