Remarks & Notes

A cold rain has turned to a heavy, wet snow as a Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad photo freight is approaching the summit of Cumbres Pass on September 17, 1996. The train is led by Rio Grande K-37 Mikado No. 497. It’s still officially late summer, but winter can arrive early in Colorado’s high country.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 77,692
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.
