Remarks & Notes

Late on a very hot summer afternoon, an eastbound loaded coal train is in the charge of a half-dozen big GEs working hard up the 1% grade out of Woodside. The massive Book Cliffs loom in the distance, their overwhelming presence giving an entirely apt name to this spot on the old D&RGW mainline in the desert north of Green River, Utah: Vista.

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.
