I never knew until now there were fire fighting trains.

This is one of the best photos I've ever seen posted to Railpictures.Net. Magnificent, Josh. Absolutely breathtaking.
|
Absolutely Spectacular! How in the world this did not get a Screener's Choice award is beyond me. PCA vote times 10!

Amazing photo, not sure I would put myself in harms way for a photo, but it certainly is dramatic!
|
Absolutely spectacular! With a lot of skill, you've perfectly captured and documented the event in a very dramatic way. Nice unique twist on the approaching train and headlights at night genre. I too wonder where the SC is, but a PC for sure!
|
Great shot, really captures the destruction and chaos that this fire season in CA has caused.
|
Mesmerizing...the "river of fire" is spectacular in its own; capturing a fire-train in the mist of this just adds drama. One of the boldest, most dramatic photos ever seen on this site. PCA nominated.
|
And I'd like to see someone make a movie about a forest fire fighting train.
|
Obvious PCA and worthy of every other accolade. Stay safe.
|
Wow, you nailed it.
|
Really dramatic photo, and processed very nicely! Surprised that it did not grab an SC, but I have a feeling it will still get the recognition it deserves when the PCAs for this week come out.

For this being the very first photo you have on Railpictures, you sure did a fantastic job. The effort to get this photo as well as the risk involved, is more than worth of a PCA vote! An amazing photo Josh!
|
Wow...an impressive photo that shows both the devastation caused by a huge forest fire and the artistic angle that railfan's desire. Good job!
|
One of the most amazing photos I've ever seen, hands down. Wow.
|
This photo is beyond any comment to give it justice. As I look at the scene above, I feel as though I am in the middle of a major motion picture. As much as we agree, RPN won't name it as top site photo. Many thanks, Josh, for capturing this shot & for sharing it with us. PCA for the little justice it can give.
|
Incredible shot! Very well done for capturing this and the story it tells. PCA on the way.
|
Great work, Josh!
|
"awesome" is an over used word but it's all that comes to mind looking at this scene. Would be interesting to know more about the fire fighting trains
|
Spectacular! Would love to know if you could have felt the heat from there.
|
UP to the rescue! I have to give props to you for having the guts to go out there and photograph this intense scene. Hope you had a gas mask!
