This may a first.

Under a near full moon this evening, a westbound train crosses
Rockville Bridge at 18:24 as the International Space Station
pierces the handle of the Big Dipper and streaks to the southeast
from its altitude of approximately 210 miles above the Earth.

The tight crop is more effective than the wider view, I believe.
