Remarks & Notes

With just a few minutes light left and the Australian photographer trembling with excitement at the amazing sight in his viewfinder, BNSF 6780 and 6837, a pair of ES44C4’s lead an eastbound train of empty container cars up the 1.2% grade between Scholle and Abo NM. This train was the last one I shot on what was the most incredible four hours of railfanning I have ever done. The sky was ablaze and the trains just kept coming up the hill in the last couple of hours. This train seems to appear about 5pm each day as it has done on four occasions over the past week.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 31,599
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.

Nocturnal Nuances & Lights In The Night! (Between Sunset - Sunrise / Sundown - Sunup!) Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 445,114
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!)
