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!
