More snow into the night Just after sunset, Union Pacific rotary snowplow No. 900082 heads east approaching Wallace, Kansas, on New Year’s Day 2007. A portion of the track being cleared of snow by the wind during the storm gives the plow a brief respite, but the rotary has plenty of more drifted snow to clear on the way to Salina. It’s the “blue hour,” that magical time during a snowy winter evening where everything turns a deep blue color. That powdery snow still coming out of the rotary’s chute is indicative of how cold it is! (Yes, it was cold!)
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom seen beauty of railroads from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding sunset to sunrise surprises!)
