The intention of this photo was to get the crossing gates coming up and the EOT blinking as the 211 local headed west after wyeing his train at Baca. However with a "strike of luck", a bright cloud to cloud lightning strike from behind acted as a flash and froze the train and crossing gates in motion, helping produce the results shown here. 7/11/12
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!)
For the train and storm chaser. Trains with thunderstorms, dark clouds, rain, lightning, hurricanes - tropical storms, funnel clouds, storm light, rainbows, and snow storms.
