Remarks & Notes

A Grande sunrise at Ferguson's Trestle. Denver & Rio Grande Western's Locomotive 484 rumbles across Ferguson's Trestle near MP 286 at the crack of dawn as the vanguard of a 2-engine, 35-car freight destined for Chama, NM via Cumbres Pass. This historic re-creation was part of a 3-day photo charter, organized by Historic Transport Preservation (HTP) and hosted by the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. It featured just about every roadable freight car in the C&TS collection, including the string of recently-restored tanks that you see here.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 80,408
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.

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!)
