Solitary anticipation... Lined for the main at Ranger Siding, the eastbound C&O pole signal at E.E. Ranger displays a clear signal, indicating that the siding's spring switch is lined for mainline movement. There won't be any trains on the Logan on this humid night in late summer, but the illuminated signal piercing the thick air certainly alludes to an approaching coal train.
The reason railpictures.net has captured my imagination for so many years. Images of quality and distinction, in other words, amazing railroad photography.
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!)
This is dedicated (with permission) to the skilled and gifted photographer - Chase Gunnoe - who regularly posts and is on staff with RP. I believe he deserves a gallery showcasing his remarkable photos. This is for you Chase! (More great photos to come!)
