Remarks & Notes

The westbound North coast Hiawatha descends Homestake Pass above Interstate 90 east of Butte, MT. Riding a dome car down this hill is a bit like landing in Butte on an airplane. This line is currently out of service, but still mostly intact.

A compilation of my favorite photographs taken from a slightly different point of view, images that catch your eye right from the thumbnail. These aren't your typical 3/4 wedgie aim & shoot pix, but well executed compositions, truly works of art.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
