Remarks & Notes

Twilight in the Star City When I found out about this event a few weeks ago I knew that shooting from the bridge would be the place to be. Although engine placement and lighting was not exactly how I had it planned it my mind, I still feel that the shot came out very nice. From this vantage point you can see from l-r NW 1218, NW former office buildings, NW Roanoke Passenger Station, the Hotel Roanoke and the NS F9 4271 (with B unit) and three Norfolk Southern passenger cars.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 31,452
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: 444,880
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!)
