Remarks & Notes

The rain has stopped and a severe thunderstorm has moved out over the Atlantic as Florida East Coast train 222 races north through the Airport Road crossing near the Titusville Autoramp. As the end of train device rolled past and the signal gates started to come up, all of a sudden a huge lightning bolt fanned out across the sky above the train, surprising me to say the least. Yes, Florida is indeed the lightning capital of North America.

Lights In The Night (Sundown to Sunrise)! Railroads In Another Perspective! Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 268,905
An ongoing/growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome, but seldom seen beauty of railroads because most of us don't go out after sundown or before sunrise. From dusk to dawn, lights are on! (And I continue to find new "Lights In The Night"!)

Sparks fly over the railroads from celebration fireworks, maintenance and repair "sparks", locomotive exhaust fireworks, and nature's light show.
