For the first time, the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado, is operating the popular “Polar Express” during the holiday season. Powering the special trains is Rio Grande 2-8-2 K-37 No. 491 that was restored to operating condition earlier this year. In this view, the Mikado is making a trip around the loop during the first day of the event on November 21, 2014. Lighting courtesy of Night Stalker Photo Works, LLC.
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!)
