Remarks & Notes

7am and still virtually dark on a freezing foggy November morning in Fuxin, China. SY Class No 1378 is ready with a loaded train of coal. Once scenes like this were common all over the world certainly I can remember similar scenes from childhood. This was perhaps my last chance to savour (and literally taste) the atmosphere of working industrial steam, I hope the shot conveys all that makes working steam so unique and scenes like this just a memory.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 112,036
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: Sunset To Sunrise & All Through The Night! Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 776,732
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!)
