This is the shot I found most interesting.

It took a helluva lot more light than the spelunking shots. I do hope
they advised the railroad and the engineer before taking the shot. I
can imagine the engineer having a heart attack with that flash going off
in the middle of nowhere in near total darkness.
Heh, heh. Can you imagine the cost of a single test shot!
