80 Inches Frozen in Time. Catching the lights scattered across Amtrak's 8th Street Yard, Santa Fe 3751's drivers gleam this evening. The massive 4-8-4, built by Baldwin in 1927, is staged here with Amtrak equipment prior to the lot traveling down to Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) to be spotted on Track. Their the equipment will be spotted and put on display for the next two days as part of the annual California Passenger Rail Summit, hosted in Los Angeles in 2016.
Railroading is a 24 hour a day business, that never sleep. From sunset to sunrise the railroad must run. These image are taken by some of the best rail photographer out their.
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!)
