Remarks & Notes

Photographer- Larry Smith- from my personal collection. One of the highlights of the 1987 NRHS Convention, besides the side by side running of Class J 611 and Class A 1218, was this night photo session held at the iconic Shaffer's Crossing roundhouse. Aside from a few minor details, this could easily be 1955 all over again.

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!)
