Remarks & Notes 
More than 170 years after construction began on this facility the original purpose of repairing and maintaining the railroad's massive fleet of locomotives continues. Strategically nestled at the foot of the Alleghenies, the town of Altoona came to be because of the railroad and to this point over 16,000 people have made their livelihood in this complex. Its business as usual as the sun sets on a gorgeous fall evening over the turntable at this massive facility.

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!)
