Remarks & Notes

High green under a high moon: Thin clouds have rolled in to obscure the brilliant moonlight, heralding another series of snow squalls. Unmindful of the weather conditions, signal 17280 aims a beam of bright green light westward, ready to perform its duty of advising an empty grain train that the snow-glazed tracks ahead are safe.

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!)
