Remarks & Notes

BN 990 is one of ten rare NW5 locomotives built for the Great Northern. This was built in December 1946 as GN 190. The front grill gives away the original GN color scheme striping with sheet metal attached to the readiator screen. Steam era class lights, head light and number boards grace the nose as well.

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.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.

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!)
