Duke Power | Shining in the golden morning light of Wednesday, December 20, 2023, a southbound intermodal train charges through the signals at Duke - the signals protecting the south end of Linwood Yard in Linwood, NC.

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.
