Remarks & Notes

A brisk Winter chill shares the company of Union Pacific's Big Boy #4012 as the 1.2 million pound giant sits poised in the yard awaiting her next assingment. The Turbines have taken the thunder from these magnificent engines, followed later by the likes of the UP DD40X Centennials. It's unlikely she'll be called to service anytime soon. This, my UP steam contribution as DD40X #6936 tours the West in '08. UP #4012, compliments of UP. Lighting and smoke effect compliments of Lerro Productions.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 31,216
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 & Lights In The Night! (Between Sunset - Sunrise / Sundown - Sunup!) Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 444,458
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!)
