Remarks & Notes

A museum piece. Red signals barely visible against the red Eastern Washington sky. For the engineer of BNSF 7531, reds, blues, and blacks are broken from the light of an oncoming manifest well over a minute and mile ago. Emerging out of the single track line, the manifest meets, passes 7531, and rolls onto the double steel to work north over Providence Hill. The double track from here over Providence Hill extends for nearly ten miles with one universal crossover at Beatrice. As the unknown manifest rolls north, along the '31s grain, its headlight becomes a little brighter and brighter against the black and blue hills, steel roofs, and lone distributed power. In addition, this photograph was selected as one of 6 winning photographs in the world-wide Powerhouse Trainspotting competition.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 63,554
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.

Nocturnal Nuances: Sunset To Sunrise & All Through The Night! Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 494,079
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
