Top Ten of 2016. With 2016 in the books, here's a look back at my Top 10 favorite shots from the past year. 1. Less than 24 hours after landing in Denver for a week-long trip, we found ourselves standing on top of a hill a couple of miles east of Thompson, Utah, awaiting UP's once-a-week Potash Local, headed for the Cane Creek Sub and the mine south of Moab. This was our first shot of the train, and we were greeted by a decent-sized train, a pair of locomotives on each end and a sun hole that illuminated the train and parts of the Book Cliffs in the background.
