Hello again, steam locomotive!

Greetings, friends.
Yesterday at 11:15, I heard the whistle of a steam locomotive from the railway, it should not be confused with the whistle of a diesel locomotive. I studied the news of our city and found out that the "Christmas Steam locomotive" is coming to our city again. That's why today I decided to meet this train at the Belka station. When I got to the station, I decided to change my plans because there were freight cars at the station. I headed for the railroad crossing, just like last time. To do this, I need to walk 500 meters along the sleepers towards the train.
When I came to the houses that are visible ahead, I heard the whistle of a steam locomotive. I misjudged the time a bit. Oh, my God. I walked along the sleepers and realized that I would have nowhere to get off the railway if I did not manage to reach the car road. There were high snowdrifts to the right and left, taller than me. I didn't take a photo; I ran forward.
And I made it to the right place. When I got on the road, the traffic light beeped. A few seconds later, a steam locomotive appeared.

Now my task is to take some good shots so that I can share them with you, friends.
I was holding a Nikon D5300 with a TAMRON 18-400mm F3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD B028N lens in my hand
I set the camera's settings to f/8 aperture, 1/320 shutter speed, and 100 ISO. I think this is a completely universal setting for a sunny day and will work at different distances on a moving object.

One railcar. In winter, the train had 2 carriages. And this is not the same locomotive that was last time. This locomotive is blue; that one was black.

The locomotive driver blew a loud horn and then 2 more. I even started in surprise, and the man waved at me.
On Christmas Day, the train was decorated with a light illumination. It was possible to do something similar this time, because it's a holiday train!

The train passed through the crossing, blew a farewell horn, and I went towards the house. Of course, I took the road instead of the sleepers.

This little stream running down the mountain turns the road into an impassable one. I have lived in this town for 35 years and have never seen asphalt on this site. To be more precise, 4 roads are running from the upper street to the lower one, and none of them has ever had asphalt.
If you walk along such a road in the dark, you can break your legs, because you can trip over rocks and fall.
Not every car will be able to climb a mountain on such a road, and not every driver will risk going down.

Another 400 meters right down the road and I'll be home.
By the way, at 7 a.m. I went for a walk with the dog, but it was very slippery on the road, so I let the dog walk for 20 minutes and returned home.
