Remarks & Notes 
Steam and Sagebrush: Sunrise at Hangman's Trestle. Rio Grande Locomotive 488 races westbound across Hangman's Trestle at track speed, hauling loads of steel pipe, destined for the gas fields in Northern New Mexico. Loads of this type tended to make for a fairly long train, as idler flats were typically required to accommodate lengths of pipe that were often longer than the gondolas used to carry them. A Lerro Productions Charter.

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.
