The headlight of NS train no. 188 illuminates Norfolk & Western's coaling tower at Prichard. The train will soon drift out of view to the east, leaving the massive tower silhouetted against clear skies to the south, revealing the Milky way and what is visible of August's Perseid meteors.
This is dedicated (with permission) to the skilled and gifted photographer - Chase Gunnoe - who regularly posts and is on staff with RP. I believe he deserves a gallery showcasing his remarkable photos. This is for you Chase! (More great photos to come!)
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!)
