Remarks & Notes

Sometimes you just prop yourself up on a rock and hope luck somehow finds you. This morning is one of those days. After seeing the days forecast I knew I had to at least get out to Copper Creek and give it a shot. A 5AM departure from home was well worth the trip on this October day. The golden light u see reflected in this photo only lasted for a few minutes. As the sun came up the fog burned off rather quickly. An NS southbound coal drag utilizes trackage rights over CSX enroute to a connection to its own rails at Waycross,Va.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 31,708
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.
