Posted by Mark Rosnick on February 19, 2015  Spectacular shot Mike. How long did it take you to hike to the site? Posted by dnsommer on February 19, 2015  Great shot! Really unique, and very sharp! Can you tell us some more about how you reached this location? Were you hoping to photograph this train in particular? Posted by John Simpkins-Camp on February 19, 2015  This is quite an amazing image!! I enjoy the diagonal composition between the head of the train and the dark storm clouds. It looks like you got the only nearby break in the clouds just in time for the trains passing. PCA nominated. Posted by Mike Danneman on February 19, 2015  Mark: Not too far, about 2/3 mile from Trough Road. dnsommer: There is a 4WD road that takes you part way in, but don’t drive it when rainy. With the lower train count on the Moffat Subdivision nowadays, I’ll take any train I can get. At least both Amtrak California Zephyr‘s pass through here in daylight everyday. There is something about a passenger train in dramatic scenery that makes the mind wander to a pleasant journey on a train… Thanks for the nice comments, guys! Posted by dnsommer on February 20, 2015  Thanks, Mike! Have to try and get up there someday! Just noticed we posted photos of the same engine today: Amtrak P42 #45! Posted by hemiadda2d on February 20, 2015  Is this Tunnel 39? Unique perspective on this scene. Simply 'Grande! Posted by Kevin Madore on February 20, 2015  I love storm light, Mike. Add in the dramatic scenery and you have quite a catch with this one. Just beautiful! Posted by Carl K on February 21, 2015  Great shot Mike. Keep on posting these spectacular images.
