Remarks & Notes

Shepherdstown, WV 12/1/12 - Moments before the sun breaks the horizon above the distant mountain range, the perfectly still waters of the Potomac River reflect northbound Norfolk to Detroit intermodal train NS 227 with nothing but two locomotives, likely compensating for fluxuating traffic patterns or second sections of the train. In the foreground, abanonded abutments from the earlier railroad right-of-way over the Potomac now carry only scraggly trees.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 31,448
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.

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!)
