Fourteen minutes! This massive 150 car coal train took a total of fourteen minutes to make his way through the entire gorge at Hawks Nest, shortly after sunset. Notice the rushing water in the right of the frame which made for a unique effect.
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!)
