If you want to set out to make a Dispatchers night "interesting", one sure way is to set a bunch of ties on fire. The crew of this Loram rail grinder has got just the tool for the job. The night before, a couple of tie fires were called in, and a couple hours later, three fires were called in a few miles north of this location.
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!)
