Remarks & Notes

Oil fired sunset. Southbound from the summit above Norquinco on the Esquel narrow gauge line. This probably would have been much more dramatic if it were coal smoke, but I'm not complaining. This is an interesting railway through some wonderfully remote country.

Nocturnal Nuances & Lights In The Night! (Between Sunset - Sunrise / Sundown - Sunup!) Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 444,887
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!)

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 31,455
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.

La Trochita Album created by member John West	Album Views: 8,993
The narrow gauge line to Esquel, Argentina, variously known as La Trochita, The Old Patagonian Express, or just the Esquel line, linked the remote villages of southern Patagonia with the outside world. It is amazing that the line still exists.
