Magical morning. As the sun was just beginning to rise and the fog lifts at 0550 on Friday, November 17, 2017, Southern Appalachia Railway Museum’s former Seaboard Coast Line SD45 2024 emerges over Copper Creek in Duffield, VA. Recently restored, it would lead the deadhead move of the 2017 CSX Santa Traun as Clinchfield Railroad 3632 for the 75th Santa Train, allowing Clinchfield 800 would lead the next day.
Railroading is a 24 hour a day business, that never sleep. From sunset to sunrise the railroad must run. These image are taken by some of the best rail photographer out their.
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!)
