Remarks & Notes 
Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad is sending a Work Train out of Antonito, CO pulling a flanger and associated support cars to clear the line of snow after a long winter. Train is crossing Ferguson's trestle also known as Hangman's trestle just moments after sunrise. This scene is courtesy of the Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad who operated a Flanger train on March 12th & 13th for the benefit of 40 lucky and adventurous photographers who were treated with stunning weather conditions to capture scenes similar to the above.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train

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 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!)
