Remarks & Notes

The most beautiful sunrise I've ever seen makes for some insane shots as an Oakland to Neoga grain train on the DREI leaves Oakland. Leading is HLCX 4212, built for the SSW in 1984.

Rule or not rule? That is the question.

Nocturnal Nuances: Sunset To Sunrise & All Through The Night! Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 583,602
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!)
