Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 63,714
Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.

Rio Grande Narrow Gauge in the 60's Album created by member John West	Album Views: 18,670
The DRGW narrow gauge was the last major steam operation in the U.S. The climb over 10,000 foot Cumbres pass was spectacular, with two engines handling 70 car trains. Hopefully these images convey some of the drama of mountain steam railroading.
