In terms of terrain, this area fits the title. But I was rather pointing out the fact that this double-stack Z-train was standing on it.
What's interesting is that this particular excursion for railfanning occurred while I was on assignment with the Hays Daily News, covering a student volunteer group helping recovery efforts in the (literally) tornado-destroyed town of Greensburg, KS. UP's Herington sub runs right through town, and after all was said and done, I headed east out of town to catch this double-stack zippin' on through.
On the point is UP SD70ACe #8408 and UP SD70MAC #3789.
Note the four major points in the background. Just to the left of the actual consist is the new water tower for the City of Greensburg. Off to the right of the train are various grain elevators in the area.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
