The “blue hour” is turning to night at a frozen Frog Pond just west of Trout Creek, Montana, on January 25, 2020. As a light rain falls on the moisture-laden snow, fog forms off the open waters of nearby Clark Fork, and rolls across the tracks and through the trees. A distant horn of a westbound BNSF train cruising through town is soon greeted by a swelling glow from the locomotive headlights. Light beams dance through the branches as more tonnage rolls west on Montana Rail Link’s Fourth Subdivision.
Railroading is a 24 hour a day business, that never sleep. From sunset to sunrise the railroad must run. These image are taken by some of the best rail photographer out their.
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!)
