Very nice image, RJ!!! The Malad Local is an easy one to chase with UP's 10 mph track speed all the way to Nucor Steel.

An absolute stunner of a photograph.

Thank You . . . everyone. This is an example of a the leading edge of a fast moving storm front in my neck of the woods. Nature does the work, we just push the button . . .

Absolutely beautiful! Whether by design or accident, you've composed a memorable photo that preserves a classic locomotive in a setting that fits its character.

What a wonderful sky, which you captured beautifully. Too bad the train had such ragged-looking locomotives, because otherwise it could be the cover of Union Pacific's annual report! Where are all those brand-new SD70ACe's when you need them?

Wow, Storm lighting and evening lighting at the same time. I echo John West, looks like painting!

When locomotives and nature stay together, no one can't stop them. BEAUTIFUL SHOT. And sorry for the bad english.. hehehe.

Congrats on a well deserved PC, RJ.
The lighting is surreal, impressive moment caught in time.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise to awake too this morning… My many thanks to those of you who made this shot the number one pick for this time period. Everyone knows this could have been better . . . a little more front light, but the other elements had enough going for them to make up for the slightly underexposed foreground I thought. Thanks for overlooking this, and enjoying one of the most exhilarating moments in my RR photographing experiences. Thank you everyone. —Rod

RJ, There is not One thing I can see wrong with this photo.. Most likely one of, if not the best lighting/scenery situations I've ever seen in a railroad related photo... Also in the top 5 of my all time favorite rail photos... This is just too nice!

Every once in a while, I have to pull this picture up and reminisce over it. That area is one of my old stomping grounds (mostly by the Nucor Steel Plant). Thanks for keeping this up.

Thanks for the memories. Sam Bass and I took this train from Brigham City to Malad one weekend in 1964. We tried several times before actually making it all the way. There were two weekends in a roll when the train only went as far as Tremonton UT to switch the sugar refinery. I shall never forget the caboose with its two rows of passenger seats and riding through the Intermountain West on the Malad Local (then a mixed train daily) while lounging in the cupola of the caboose. The return trip brought us a cab ride through the moonlit night to return to our home of Brigham City around 1130 PM. Boy were our parents upset! Oh to return to those days of yesteryear some 43-years ago.
