Union Pacific 2-8-0 No. 618 approaches Decker’s Bay with a freight, lost in the wintery wonderland of Utah’s Wasatch Mountains on February 6, 2007. The chartered photo freight is operating on Utah’s scenic Heber Valley Railroad alongside shore of Deer Creek Reservoir.
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.
