After a long day of running the rails, the NS 1072, Illinois Terminal Heritage unit puts her empty stone train away for the night as the last of the sun starts to disappear as does her train into the darkness of the coming night. She will then get her chance to catch her breath and rest till she's called to take the loaded stone tonnage to it's next destination.
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!)
