Great work! Posted by Jan Hart on June 9, 2009  Excellent shot, especially the effect the exhaust has on the moon. Posted by David Wheeler on June 9, 2009  Truly Stunning. PCA from me Posted by John Kirk on June 9, 2009  Sensational shot, John. Congratulations on the extraordinary capture - a masterful use of digital photography.

Posted by Apostolos Anastasiadis on June 9, 2009  Man,you got THE photo...!Congratulations... Posted by Doug Wolfe on June 9, 2009  Very nice. Posted by LNTRR on June 9, 2009  WOW! I would like to know how long you waited for this picture to come together. PCA for me. Posted by Craig Williams on June 9, 2009  Option D, all the above comments! Posted by Bob Pickering (BP) on June 9, 2009  Wow! Posted by Mark Rosnick on June 9, 2009  Exceptional photo and well worth the Screener's Choice. PCA vote from me Posted by James C. Smith, Jr. on June 9, 2009  All the above comments on this exceptional photo are all well-deserved. And, the exhaust distortion actually validates John's effort to record this image, because so many would be quick to say it was just Photoshop magic. Great job, John! Posted by Dean Kaplan on June 9, 2009  Nothing like an early night full moon with a train under it!! Awesome shot John! Posted by larrym on June 9, 2009  I think BNSF asks for pictures for their yearly calender and this is a great one. It might be something for you to consider. Posted by Marty Bernard on June 9, 2009  WOW! PCA for me. Posted by Ryan Dadgari on June 9, 2009  John, This is another photo that raises the bar to a whole new level. Job well done! Posted by Adam Pizante on June 9, 2009  Well done image, love the full moon. PCA all the way! Posted by Brian Sellers on June 9, 2009  Another winner John! I love the heat distortion's effect on the moon! Posted by Steven M. Welch on June 9, 2009  This shot has made me listen to CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" over and over on iTunes... Perfectly exposed. I see the EXIF data doesn't show... Care to share some stats? Great shot. Posted by John Benner on June 10, 2009  Thanks for all the comments. The EXIF data shows for me...?? Anyway, ISO 1000, 1/100 sec, f/10. Posted by David Nutter on June 12, 2009  Beautiful! Posted by SeanK97 on June 12, 2009  Absolutely stunning! This one deserves the "Screeners Choice" and PCA for sure. Nice work... Posted by Andrew Milwee on June 15, 2009  Man, that is one beautiful shot, John! I love how the diesel exhaust kind of distorts the shape of the moon. Posted by Nicholas O Sullivan on June 23, 2009  Breathtaking. Thank you for sharing this. Posted by Bryant Kaden on June 25, 2009  Robert Olmsted wrote an article entitled "Moon Nights" for issue 76 of The Railroad Press about this kind of shot that's worth checking out for anyone wanting to improve their odds of capturing this kind of shot. And as everyone can see, the results can be just stunning. Great work, John! Posted by Ross P. on June 28, 2009  This is just perfect. Great job! Posted by Robert W. Scott on July 7, 2009  Great shot. That location and Angel are some of may favorites on that line. Posted by Kit Fassett on February 12, 2010  I saw this photo when it was first posted. I have been in this same area many times. What great timing, had to be on a full moon and had to have a train coming at you at just the right time. Maybe a 15 minute window to get this shot in. Then the color of the sky gets black. There is not much in the background except the Navajo Nation and open plan with no towns on it. There are very few places in the USA where you can get this kind of shot. I though I had posted a comment but see that I did not. This is one of the very best photo on RailPictures. Congratulations on a picture well done. Posted by Huiala Andrei Edward on September 23, 2010  I don't know what to say...It's magnificient awesome i can't find the words to describe this photo... Posted by on August 14, 2011  I echo everybody. Great photo! Posted by Carlos Beseler on May 4, 2012  impressive shot, is one of the most beautiful photos and seen. Posted by thefarmersson on January 23, 2013  My wife found this pic and I do feel that this is just beautiful. I wish that AT&SF was still a seperate company. I miss seeing the locos in the famous "warbonnet" paint. Great work, keep it up!! A big Thank-you!! Posted by Nathan M. Kuhn on October 6, 2013  Most beautiful image of a BNSF C44-9W yet! Great picture! Posted by Rick on March 7, 2014  Great composition, wonderful colors and soft lighting, and signals well captured in the distance make for an astounding shot!
