After sunrise on February 5, 2006, Nevada Northern 2-8-0 No. 93 pulls a freight over Steptoe Creek Fill near East Ely, Nevada. Morning sun shines off the flowing creek and remnants of winter ice, as well as silhouetting the train, including a busy fireman shoveling coal from the tender to a hungry Consolidation firebox.
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.
