Remarks & Notes

Positioned in the center of the town's modern day commercial district, the 1906 built Chesapeake & Ohio St. Albans Depot watches over the double track mainline as it has over for a century. An original passenger depot, serving the Charleston suburb of St. Albans, the depot watched iconic C&O passenger trains pass such as the Fast Flying Virginian, George Washington, and Sportman. Despite receiving extensive damage by a C&O freight train derailment and in more recent years, a car collision, the depot serves today as home to a railway preservation organization. Tonight, silhouetted against an impressive lightning show and thunderstorm, the depot watches over the empty rails of today's CSX Kanawha mainline. Rail traffic to the east has just been delayed as a result of a fallen tee, crippling operations until the storm passes.

For the train and storm chaser. Trains with thunderstorms, dark clouds, rain, lightning, hurricanes - tropical storms, funnel clouds, storm light, rainbows, and snow storms.

Sparks fly over the railroads from celebration fireworks, maintenance and repair "sparks", locomotive exhaust fireworks, and nature's light show.

Nocturnal Nuances & Lights In The Night! (Between Sunset - Sunrise / Sundown - Sunup!) Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 444,879
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!)
