Remarks & Notes

A temperature inversion at sunrise has trapped steam rising off freshly baked taconite pellets at CN's former DM&IR yard at Proctor, Minnesota. A trio of Missabe tunnel motors will head north for another load of ore on this cold first day of March.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 32,277
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.

Nocturnal Nuances & Lights In The Night! (Between Sunset - Sunrise / Sundown - Sunup!) Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 446,230
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!)

Special Duty Locomotives Album created by member John Westfield	Album Views: 66,311
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
