Autumn leaves glow in the light of Cumberland Mine's SD38-2 as it works it's way toward the end of the rails, dumping cars at the coal dumper at the Cumberland Harbor facility while day turns to night in rural Pennsylvania. Coal is dumped out of the train cars, loaded onto a barge and floated up the Monongahela River to a nearby power plant.
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!)
