Remarks & Notes

Clawing under storm’s edge
We were on Peru Hill west of Green River, Wyoming, on the afternoon of June 22, 2023, when the nice weather began to change as thunderstorms moved in from the west. Before we knew it, a giant shelf cloud from one of the storms quickly enveloped the sky above, bring with it wind, blowing dust and driving rain. Moving off the cut seemed prudent and provided this view of another Union Pacific freight clawing up the grade away from the Green River.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 32,726
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.

The Profound (of a state, quality, or emotion) very great or intense. Album created by member Coloradorailphotographer	Album Views: 1,953
The reason railpictures.net has captured my imagination for so many years. Images of quality and distinction, in other words, amazing railroad photography.

Rule or not rule? That is the question.

For the train and storm chaser. Trains with thunderstorms, dark clouds, rain, lightning, hurricanes - tropical storms, funnel clouds, storm light, rainbows, and snow storms.
