Remarks & Notes

On the Hegang Coal Railway in northeastern China, an afternoon passenger train creates a traffic jam as it steams through a busy level crossing. The steam in the foreground is from a food vendor's dumpling stove. In 2005, most of Hegang's coal operations were handled by electric motors, but steam still powered the passenger trains and a few coal trains.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 32,277
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.

A far cry from the common wedgie ... and particularly well executed.
