Remarks & Notes

On a damp and dreary December night in downtown Cumberland, Western Maryland Scenic, 2-8-0 No. 734 boards passengers for the nighttime Polar Express trip to Frostburg. Each year, the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad hosts their Polar Express excursions, which continue through to December 23rd. The excursions are a huge hit, with tonight's train almost at its maximum occupancy, despite cold and rainy conditions. The trip over the mountain to Frostburg will be a challenge with the poor visibility and wet rail, though with an experienced crew, WMSR 734 and its passenger consist will arrive at Frostburg at 7:00 PM.

Beautiful sceneries, steam locomotives... all inspiring pictures.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 31,273
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: 444,566
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!)
