Remarks & Notes

In April 1984, a westbound Rio Grande freight encounters a high country ground blizzard at East Portal, Colorado. High winds, low visibility and drifting snow; just a part of springtime at the Moffat Tunnel!

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 112,029
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.
