Remarks & Notes

With the headlight just beginning to peek over the crest of the grade and the late evening sunlight catching the exhaust this CSX loaded coal train is on the last leg of the brutal climb up the 1.7% grade at Watkins.

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.

A far cry from the common wedgie ... and particularly well executed.
