Remarks & Notes 
Six Alco RSD-15 "Alligators" lead Santa Fe's unit coal train from York Canyon, N.M. to Kaiser Steel Corp. at Fontana, Calif. around ATSF's horseshoe curves at Blanchard, N.M. on Sept. 15, 1968. Four other Alligators under RCE control mid-train are above the first four cars. The ATSF unit York Canyon trains were some of the first in the country, pre-dating Powder River by over a decade. Today the BNSF's York Canyon branch lies dormant account of exhausting the coal supply.

Photos by some of the best railroad still photographers in North America. These photographers must have a significant impact on the art form and have been shooting (or shot in the past) for at least 10 years.

An exclamation attributed to TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson, it is this eponymous expression of which certain images convey man and machine versus nature . . .

Do you ever get the feeling as a model railroader, that you just might be creating something not "prototypical?" Same here.

Anything that grabs one's attention and holds it. These photos tell more than a story based on the sum of its parts, but create other stories.
