Remarks & Notes

Two Southern Pacific units pose next to each other at Brightside Yard, home of the Niles Canyon Railway and GGRM. This was a night shoot put on by Vic Neves, producer of the popular railroad photography slideshow Winterail. While several photographers were on the other side of the steam locomotive ready for the flashbulbs, I decided to step aside and move to the other side of the steam locomotive and try something else.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 31,457
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!)
