Remarks & Notes

Several of SQM's 85-year-old GE boxcabs are still in daily service hauling nitrates to the port town of Tocopilla. Here, 604 ("Viviana") and 607 ("Alejandra") quietly round a horseshoe curve with empty cars under moonlit coastal fog. The train is approaching Barriles, where diesels will take over for the run to the mine at Maria Elena.

Nocturnal Nuances & Lights In The Night! (Between Sunset - Sunrise / Sundown - Sunup!) Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 444,823
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!)

Capturing the transition from afternoon light to morning light via the night. Contrasting all shades of light with dark.
