Remarks & Notes

The stars look down upon a true relic in the desert. This semaphore, as long as countless others still standing along the Raton Subdivision, has been guarding the line for well over 100 years at this point. With modernization happening all over railroads across the country, these signals are truly the last of their kind. Oh the stories they could tell.

Nocturnal Nuances: Sunset To Sunrise & All Through The Night! Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 592,270
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!)
