Remarks & Notes 
Last night while out storm chasing I happened upon a coal train sitting in the Stowe yard overnight. NS1019 was in perfect line from the storms moving in from the west. After dozens of shots I was able to capture this lucky shot. Coincidentally 10/19 is my birthday and after waiting for what seemed to be a storm chasing bust, the storms strengthen after the passed the mountains and put on an AMAZING lightning show. I'd say luck was once again on my side. Photo by Shawn A Leightcap

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train

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.

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!)
